The systems of the famous healthcare facility, Universal Health Services, were targeted by the Rayuk ransomware group in September 2020.

The attackers hit the systems, disabled multiple antivirus programs, and logged the systems out.

The attack caused the doctors to wait for a longer period for lab test results and even resulted in four casualties.

The healthcare immediately took action and removed the encrypted files and restored the systems.
