Cybersecurity Incident Disrupts Operations at Brockton Hospital, Massachusetts
Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital in Brockton, Massachusetts, is responding to a cybersecurity incident that has disrupted key systems and services. The attack, which began affecting operations on April 7, has led to the diversion of ambulance traffic while emergency and inpatient care remain operational.
