Health system in South Carolina, Georgia closes offices after malware affects networks

AnMed Health, a health system operating in South Carolina and Georgia, disclosed a malware infection affecting its networks on Sunday and initiated restoration efforts while assessing the scope of the compromise. The organization closed patient care offices as it addressed the cybersecurity disruption.

Why it matters: Healthcare providers and their patients need to monitor AnMed's disclosure for evidence of patient data exposure, and insurers should prepare for potential claims related to operational disruption and notification costs.
