CHCC IT safeguards network vs. cyberattack

The healthcare sector experienced a surge in cyberattacks over the past few weeks, posing significant threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive medical data. These attacks have targeted hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities, compromising patient information, disrupting critical services, and potentially jeopardizing patient safety.

The Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. was recently threatened by potential data exfiltration, but with much diligence, all security measures are being employed to prevent any further threats and protect all data.

In collaboration with CNMI Homeland Security and other federal agencies, a thorough investigation remains in place to confirm the nature of the threat, and security measures are being implemented. We prioritize safeguarding the privacy of our patients and CHCC is currently evaluating the threat and working with authorities ensuring we are in compliance with federal laws.

There are no disruptions to clinical and emergency services. Critical patient care will continue without interruption, and our healthcare professionals are committed to providing the best possible care under these challenging circumstances.

If you’ve received any communications regarding suspicious activities of a similar nature, it’s imperative that you refrain from further engagement as we continue to work with authorities.

CHCC remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering high-quality healthcare services and ensuring the security of patient data. (PR)
