The Cancer Center of Hawaii

A cyber security breach temporarily halted cancer radiation treatment services at the Cancer Center of Hawaii on Oahu.

The company shut down its network servers which temporarily kept them from being able to offer radiation services to cancer patients.

The organization launched an investigation and determined that there was an outside attempt made to encrypt the data on their computers which temporarily disabled the network and their ability to deliver radiation treatments.

While the forensic investigation is ongoing, at this time, there is no indication that patient or employee data was breached, accessed, or released.
