Developing: AnMed reports phone and internet outage impacting all hospital locations; ERs remain open

AnMed Health System, which operates four hospitals in Upstate South Carolina and northeast Georgia, experienced a phone and internet outage affecting all locations. Emergency rooms remained operational during the incident despite the connectivity disruption.

Why it matters: Healthcare administrators and IT security teams need to assess whether this outage resulted from a cyberattack or infrastructure failure, as both scenarios demand immediate incident response and communication protocol activation.
