Ascension faced a significant cybersecurity breach initiated by the ransomware group Black Basta, leading to compromised patient information and lawsuits. The attack occurred around May 9, 2024, and resulted in unauthorized access to Ascension's network systems. This disrupted the electronic health records system and necessitated the diversion of emergency services. Ascension's response included a diligent investigation to ascertain the exposure of sensitive data, with a commitment to notify affected parties and restore services with the help of recovery experts.
