Scripps Health in San Diego is dealing with a ransomware attack that forced the organization to suspend user access to its online portal and switch to alternative methods for patient care operations. Some critical-care patients have been redirected to other hospitals, according to local media reports. The San Diego Union-Tribune says medical personnel relying on paper records and electronic monitoring of a patient s vitals have also been affected by the attack. The nonprofit health care provider has five hospitals and 19 outpost facilities with over 2,600 affiliate physicians.
