UMC Health System

UMC Health System, based in Lubbock, Texas and affiliated with Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, suffered a ransomware attack leading to a network outage. The incident forced the healthcare provider to divert incoming emergency and non-emergency patients to nearby facilities, causing disruptions to their operations and potentially impacting patient care. The hospital took IT systems offline to contain the threat and engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to assist with the investigation and response. Some systems were restored by Monday following the attack, but the complete extent of the breach, including whether patient data was exfiltrated, remains unclear.
