0:03
Chicago Children's hospital now entering
0:05
its ninth day of outages as the FBI
0:08
investigates the incident Stephanie
0:09
Ramos has the latest for us good morning
0:12
Stephanie Robin good morning at first it
0:14
seemed like a technical glitch with some
0:15
patients having trouble emailing
0:17
providers but then it was clear that the
0:19
hospital was under a Cyber attack
0:21
forcing them to take Key Systems
0:24
offline this morning a Cyber attack on a
0:27
Children's Hospital in Chicago is
0:29
entering its n day since last Wednesday
0:32
lurry Children's Hospitals phones and
0:34
computers have been offline patients
0:36
medical records inaccessible experts
0:39
warn it could take weeks to get the
0:41
hospital systems back up and running
0:43
that's why cyber security taxs are so
0:46
damaging because there's not an answer
0:48
about how long it's going to take the
0:50
FBI now investigating the attack which
0:52
has forced the hospital to cancel some
0:54
procedures and elective surgeries the
0:56
hospital saying we recognize the
0:59
frustration of not having Clarity on
1:01
when this will be resolved our
1:03
investigation remains ongoing and we are
1:05
working around the clock to resolve this
1:07
matter they're looking perhaps at the
1:09
security at their workstation
1:11
level mobile devices PCS Macs that level
1:15
and they're also looking at at the
1:18
system level like who has access to the
1:22
server hospitals have become a frequent
1:25
Target for hackers in December a cyber
1:27
criminal group targeted another Chicago
1:30
hospital demanding nearly $1 million to
1:33
not leak patients personal information
1:36
one month earlier a Cyber attack on a
1:38
large health care company forced
1:40
hospitals in three states to close their
1:45
rooms the Children's Hospital has not
1:47
made public the exact details of the
1:49
attack how or which servers were hacked
1:51
or if Ransom has been demanded and to
1:54
help patients they've set up a call
1:55
center for those unable to reach the
1:57
hospital through regular numbers or the
1:59
ill IC messaging system well hey there
