Sonoma Valley Hospital was forced to give up its coveted three-letter domain name after hackers hijacked its website.
The domain was maliciously acquired, and it became clear that the hospital would not have its domain returned.
As a result, hospital officials began migrating all internet connectivity and email accounts to its new domain.
While no patient data or privacy was compromised during the theft, the impact cannot be overstated.
All marketing material, letterhead, business cards were need to be reprinted, as well as all branding and marketing campaigns.
