Cybersecurity Issue Forces a Major New Mexico Hospital to Divert Patients and Close Clinics

A cybersecurity issue on Monday forced the University of New Mexico Health System to divert ambulances, tell patients not to come to its main Albuquerque hospital and cancel appointments at more than 30 clinics, SecurityWeek reports. The health system, which operates New Mexico’s only Level 1 trauma centre, began resuming operations in phases later in the day; employees reported on-screen messages claiming data had been stolen, the system would not comment, and the FBI said it was assisting.
