Tallahassee hospital takes IT systems offline, postpones procedures after apparent cyber attack

“Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare is diverting some emergency patients to other hospitals and canceling non-emergency surgical and outpatient procedures after an "IT security issue" occurred late Thursday. “

“The healthcare provider, which operates a 772-bed hospital and multiple specialty care centers, also took its IT systems offline, according to a statement posted on its website Friday morning. “

“Local media are reporting that the IT security breach is a suspected ransomware attack, citing sources with knowledge of the situation. “

“Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare spokesperson Tori Lynn Schneider told CNN “some” emergency patients were being diverted to facilities outside of the organization’s network, but declined to say how many patients. All non-emergency and elective procedures scheduled for Monday were canceled because of the hacking incident, Schneider said. “

TMH employee: remote workers forced to use PTO during cybersecurity incident

“On Wednesday, an employee who works for TMH remotely full-time reached out to WCTV about their situation. The employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said their team works in the IT department, but outside the scope of those working to address the current issue. The worker said the team was directed not to log in to work last Friday. They have not been allowed to log in since.“

“According to a visual record provided to WCTV, TMH administration offered the remote team three choices: take paid time off, accept unpaid leave for Monday and Tuesday, or show up to the hospital to be assigned a task. The employee, who works out of the area, told WCTV that was an unfair choice. “

“The employee said the team had several people without any PTO left, and they feared they would be in financial trouble without earning pay. “
