Customers describe the impact of the Allscripts ransomware attack

Ransomware attack hit Allscripts, one of the largest electronic health record and practice management technology vendors. The company was victimized by the actors behind the SamSam family of ransomware on Thursday, January 18. About 1,500 medical practices were impacted by the attack, which could represent hundreds of doctors and other medical practitioners. To Allscripts’ customers, online meant that things were back to normal, as if the attack never happened, which wasn’t the case. Allscripts certainly brought those services back online, but the actions didn’t meet customer expectations.”]
