Kettering Health, which operates numerous medical centers in Ohio, experienced a cyberattack causing a company-wide outage that resulted in the cancellation of elective procedures and disrupted call center functions. Patients were advised to be cautious of phishing scams during this period and informed that Kettering Health would refrain from requesting payment over the phone. The Interlock ransomware group claimed responsibility, threatening to leak sensitive information unless a ransom is paid. The situation underscores the growing risks posed by cybercriminals in the healthcare sector.
Elective inpatient and outpatient procedures at Kettering Health facilities have been canceled for today Tuesday, May 20, and will be rescheduled for a later date.
