Medical provider says situation does not affect its hospitals in Escondido and Poway
Patients of Palomar Health Medical Group in North County have been experiencing delays since the medical provider detected suspicious activity on its computer network Sunday. Palomar acknowledged the situation in a brief statement released Tuesday, stating that it has not affected operations at its two hospitals in Escondido and Poway. But the organization has provided scant details on how the incident has changed patient care.
Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside is the most-recent local health care organization to take similar steps when malicious software appeared on its network in late November 2023. Cyber extortionists used a type of malicious program commonly called 'Ransomware' to attempt to extort cash from the public district hospital, even posting stolen records on a murky corner of the Internet called the Dark Web.
