For the first time in four days, a cyber attack considerably disabled its technological system, Kettering health administrators have spoken publicly Friday evening, try to calm the fear of employees and thousands of patients in the region.
The administrators of Kettering Health said that the cyber attack that had caused the system of technology to the system scale was ransomware, although they declared that they had no direct contact with the aggressor and did not pay any ransom.
Organizations that have experienced this type of unauthorized access are generally dropped by 10 to 20 days, said John Weimer, Vice-President Director and Incidental Command at Kettering Health.
“We work to be at the lower end of this scale,” said Weimer.
Kettering Health has 14 medical centers in the region and more than 120 ambulatory locations in western Ohio, as well as the Kettering doctors network, which includes more than 700 suppliers certified on the board of directors.
