“Murfreesboro Medical Clinic & SurgiCenter was the victim of a sophisticated criminal cyberattack, according to a press release.“
“The cyberattack happened on April 22 and in response, MMC said it had to shut down all operations on May 1-4 to limit the spread of the attack. Since shutting down, they’ve been working with law enforcement and experts to identify the source and scope of the attack to restore normal operations. “
“CEO Joey Peay said they were able to limit the impact of the attack thanks to the quick response of their technology experts. MMC’s data backup systems were not affected by the attack. “
“It’s not clear at this time if any data was accessed or stolen, Peay said. They’ve seen ransom demands, but their information was not encrypted. At this time, they’re encouraging patients and employees to monitor their personal data for any misuse of specific patient, employee, or corporate data. “
