Memorial Hospital and Manor, located in Bainbridge, Georgia, was targeted by the Embargo ransomware gang, leading to a disruption of their Electronic Health Record system. The ransomware attack forced the hospital staff to revert to manual paper-based operations, potentially increasing wait times for patients. Although patient care levels were reportedly maintained, the hospital's workflow was significantly impacted. The Embargo gang claimed to have stolen 1.15 terabytes of data, although the hospital has not confirmed a data breach. The attack is part of a concerning trend of ransomware incidents affecting U.S. healthcare providers in 2024.
