An unprecedented cyberattack against one of the largest hospital chains in the US has compromised the computer and phone systems at hundreds of hospitals this week.

Universal Health Services, which operates more than 250 hospitals across North America, started experiencing outages Sunday night that logged all staff out of computer systems and blocked them from logging back in, Bleeping Computer first reported.

Those outages have continues for days, forcing hospitals across the US to postpone surgeries and divert ambulances. UHS president Mark Miller told the Wall Street Journal Monday evening that UHS shut down its own systems after a hack was detected in order to prevent further damage, causing some operations to be delayed.

While some hospital functions were disrupted, no patients were harmed by the outage, Miller added.

7. This is a sign of things to come. Lay it right on Trumps desk as another thing he has ignored!

He needs to go.

The national security people are saying that even if he gets defeated, he will continue to be a security threat to the U.S.A. for years because of all the secret data he has had exposure to. This info in Trump's world is a commodity he can sell to the highest bidder.

Take a look at what has happened to those people who hold and trade U.S.A. security secrets. When they are found, they are arrested and LOCKED away in federal prison to make them worthless to the buyers of our secrets.

Trump reportedly owes $450 billion. A NO U.S. bank will loan him money. So how is he getting out of that hole? Plus, the possible $100 million he owes the IRS if the ruling goes against him.

THINK SECURITY THREAT FOR YEARS TO COME
