Florida Department of Health among organizations targeted in recent cybersecurity attacks
WCTV
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - Recent cyber attacks have jeopardized personal patient information throughout Florida.
The Florida Department of Health is one of many cyber attack victims who have experienced outages in its key database. The Florida DOH has been having issues with its “vital statistics” system as it has been slowing down local services, including birth and death certificates.
In a statement to WCTV, the DOH confirmed outages of their vital statistics system. The system holds personal patient information, including records of births and deaths. The DOH said it is working with law enforcement to address this issue and plans to immediately notify anyone affected.
Ageis Technology CEO Blake Dowling said that this scenario could be very dangerous if an outside party has access to sensitive information.
