“Atrium Health’s website experienced outages Monday afternoon as a Russian hacking group shared a threat against the Charlotte-based health care system and other U.S. groups. The company’s “hospital systems and patient portal” weren’t affected, Atrium said. “
“Killnet listed Atrium Health’s Cabarrus County location in a post on the social media platform Telegram along with more than a dozen other hospital systems, Observer news partner WSOC reported. “
“Killnet is a pro-Russia hacking group known for its cyberattacks, primarily on European governments and infrastructure. They commonly use “denial of service” attacks to disrupt business, Politico reported previously. “
““It’s important to note the disruption affected only our public-facing website,” the company said. “Our hospital systems and patient portal remained fully functional at all times.” Other hospital systems across the U.S. — including University of Michigan Health and Stanford Health Care — reportedly experienced problems with their websites Monday. “
