Largest employer in Mississippi, and they’ve been hit with a ransomware attack. Elective procedures canceled. All charting done on paper until this is resolved. Big impact to the university med school. Even the phone system is down.
Haven’t heard about the ransom amount.

Guess there's an opening for a CISO at UMMC now.

I would imagine it is difficult (spelled i-m-p-o-s-s-i-b-l-e) to recruit first level IT folks to that City.

Happened to all the BR General campuses a couple of years ago. They were only in for a couple of minutes. No ransom was paid.

Jackson gonna Jackson.
This isn't a "Jackson gonna Jackson" issue - this is a major, organized crime.

UMMC is such a stupid name, it is commonly referred to as UMC.

Bet they have Veem on premise backups. The ramsomware hackers get to that shite too. I’m amazed at they systems that don’t back up to a secondary cloud solution.
