Nearly three weeks after experiencing a ransomware attack on its IT
network, Indianapolis-based Eskenazi Health is notifying patients that
hackers have posted some of the stolen data online.

Eskenazi Health posted an incident update to its website Aug. 24 to notify
employees, providers, patients, former patients and vendors that it
discovered files online that the hackers stole from the hospital.

"We have begun the painstaking process of examining those files for any
personal patient or employee information," the hospital wrote. "If we find
such information, we will notify the affected individuals in accordance
with law and offer identity protection and credit monitoring services."

Eskenazi Health shut down its computer network Aug. 4 and put its emergency
department on diversion "out of an abundance of caution" and to preserve
the safety of patient care. The hospital remained on diversion and
postponed some elective procedures for a few days after the attack, but it
is currently open and operating, Indy Star reported Aug. 24.

Eskenazi Health said there is no evidence that any of its files were
encrypted and that it will not make any payments to the hackers. It is
currently working with the FBI on an investigation.
