The attack occurred in late February 2021 and forced the shutdown of the Spring Valley hospital’s computer network, impacting all web-based operations, including its patient portal. The Peru branch was not affected, as it operated on a separate system.
The incident, the hospital said on social media, impacted its ability to bill patients and get paid in a timely manner for the provided services. The systems were down for more than three months.
