PIH Health was targeted in a ransomware attack, forcing officials to completely shut their network offline and leaving millions in the dark when it comes to healthcare. ... Officials say that they were targeted on Sunday by a "criminal act" that "compromised their network." In turn, network services were turned off at their hospitals in Downey, Whittier and downtown LA. ... "Meeting the healthcare needs of our communities remains our highest priority," said a statement from PIH Health. "We continue to provide care during our downtime procedures at all of our facilities, including all three hospitals, medical offices, home health, hospice, outpatient imaging and laboratory."
