A ransomware attack has encrypted part of the network of dialysis provider DaVita, though patient care continues, according to an SEC filing.
The company became aware of the incident April 12, isolating the affected systems and engaging cybersecurity professionals and law enforcement, per the April 12 filing.
“We have implemented our contingency plans, and we continue to provide patient care,” DaVita’s statement reads. “However, the incident is impacting some of our operations, and while we have implemented interim measures to allow for the restoration of certain functions, we cannot estimate the duration or extent of the disruption at this time.”
