hack

The lawsuit alleges the hack was preventable and that the hospital “exacerbated the harm” by failing to notify those affected until “months” after the attack.

The attack is disrupting facilities operated by Prospect Medical Holdings, which is based in California and has hospitals and clinics there and in Texas, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.

The hospital says it discovered the "unusual activity” May 31. An investigation determined a “criminal group” infiltrated its computer system between May 12 and May 30.

The data, apparently taken from a location used to automate email messages, was made available by an “unknown and unauthorized party” on an online forum, HCA announced.
