Luminis Health Working to Restore Systems After Cyberattack
Luminis Health, a Maryland-based health system, is responding to a cyberattack that knocked certain systems offline. The organization is actively investigating the incident.
Why this matters: Health systems hold some of the most personal data that exists. Medical records touch diagnoses, treatments, mental health, medications, and finances. When a hospital network goes down, that is not just an IT problem — care can be delayed and patient data can be exposed at the same time. People did not choose to share that information widely. They handed it over because they needed help. If it gets compromised, they have no way to take it back.
