Security News > 2020 > November > Post-Cyberattack, UVM Health Network Still Picking Up Pieces

More than a month after a cyberattack hit the University of Vermont health network, the organization is still working to recover its systems.

The UVM health network is a six-hospital, home-health and hospice system, which encompasses more than 1,000 physicians, 2,000 nurses and other clinicians in Vermont and northern New York.

Weeks later, the network is still struggling to restore systems - only last week announcing it has restored access to the MyChart online patient portal for its existing users, as well as the Epic electronic medical record system.

Roadblocks to recovery remain: While MyChart is up and running again, sign-ups and activations are temporarily unavailable, and billing statements and payment processing will be delayed at UVM Medical Center and Porter Medical Center, according to UVM health network.

University of Vermont health network continues to make steady progress toward recovering systems from the cyberattack," according to a statement by UVM health network.
