DaVita Inc., a leading kidney care provider, disclosed a ransomware attack that encrypted parts of its network, causing disruptions to its operations. The attack was detected over the weekend, a time when IT staff levels are generally lower, potentially delaying rapid response. DaVita activated their response protocols, isolated impacted systems, and implemented contingency plans, ensuring continued patient care despite the attack. While operations were affected, the full scope, including whether patient data was compromised, remains under investigation.
