Dear readers,

Unfortunately, there will be no new Hospital Safety Insider stories or newsletter article uploads today.

On Tuesday August 10, 2021, we experienced a ransomware attack on our servers. After discovering the unauthorized activity, our IT professionals—together with third-party forensic and cybersecurity experts—immediately secured our systems and started restoring operations within a safe and remediated network environment.

While this is being done, we will be unable to upload articles to HCPro.com or Hospital Safety Center. You will also not be able to access hcpro.com or Hospital Safety Center during this time.

An incident response firm is conducting a comprehensive forensic investigation to determine the cause of the incident and whether there has been any sensitive data accessed by the unauthorized party. We look forward to sharing further findings with you at that time.

We are working around the clock to restore your services fully, safely, and as quickly as possible.

Thank you,

Brian Ward, Editor
