Streaming Live: Latest on cyberattack at Lurie Children’s Hospital
CHICAGO (CBS) — The FBI confirmed on Wednesday that it is investigating a “cybersecurity incident” that has caused a weeklong network outage at Lurie Children’s Hospital.
“FBI Chicago is aware of the recent cybersecurity incident affecting Lurie Children’s Hospital and is utilizing all available investigative tools and resources to provide assistance. As always, our attention remains on ensuring the safety of our citizens and our nation’s critical infrastructure. There is no additional information available for release at this time,” the FBI said in a statement on Wednesday, one week after the attack on Jan. 31.
Last Wednesday, Lurie officials said a “cybersecurity incident” prompted the hospital to take its network systems offline, including its phones, email, and electronic records.
The hospital has not specifically called what happened a cybersecurity attack, but the outage has led to Lurie cancelling elective surgeries and procedures. While the hospital has said patients should still show up for scheduled appointments unless they hear otherwise from their doctor, many patients have been left frustrated, unable to reach the hospital through its main phone lines, and many awaiting a call for when their children can return to get the care they need.
