Ascension faced a ransomware attack that disrupted their electronic health records system (EHR) and led to an emergency medical services diversion. The attack, reportedly executed by the Russian-speaking ransomware group Black Basta on or around May 9, 2024, raised concerns over the unauthorized access and potential disclosure of patients' personal information. Multiple class action lawsuits ensued as the health system investigated the breach and its implications on sensitive data exposure, navigating the aftermath to restore services and maintain community relations.
