Atlanta-based Emory Healthcare has reported that in January a hacker demanded a ransom after accessing one of the health system’s appointment systems and deleting the appointment information database. The hack affected the records of about 80,000 patients.
In a statement posted on its website, Emory Healthcare said it’s Orthopaedics & Spine Center and Brain Health Center within Emory Clinic used an application called Waits & Delays to update patients regarding their appointments.
