Ocean Springs, Miss.-based Singing River Health System said it recently took some IT systems offline after detecting a cybersecurity incident in its “early stages.”
The three-hospital system shut down its internet and MyChart access Dec. 23 in response to the potential hacking attempt before restoring the services later in the day.
“Safeguarding our patients, team members, and information remains our top priority as our investigation is ongoing,” a Singing River spokesperson told Becker’s in a statement Dec. 29. “All hospitals and clinics continue to operate safely and effectively.”
The health system was the victim of a ransomware attack in 2023.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
