UMMC Cyber attack

[DownwardDawg]

Crazy. Closing all clinics statewide. Canceling surgeries.

Pour a drink for me. **** this dumb shit. Singing River a couple months ago again. Now this one. SCRMC just went live this month and now they're in a tizzy. Got the Sconnies up in arms in the IT world.

Sorry any of you IT guys, but this tech stuff will be the death of us.

This is what happens when you use a commodity operating system like Window or Linux! They are trash when considering security! Legacy operating systems (mainframe and super mini operating systems ) don’t have this issue!

They may be cheap to buy but you pay a lot more on the backend when you get bit in the butt - like this.

This is what happens when you outsource security to India and the cheapest provider. Epic can be secured quite easily on any OS if you do it correctly.

I work within the Epic environment, it's very secure.

St Dominic doesn't have this problem apparently.

St. D is owned by FMOL out of Baton Rouge. Probably a little brighter then the UMMC people.

Baptist uses Epic too. Not sure who their parent company is but their main services are in Memphis

Yes they do, but both BMH and FMOL are large IDNs, so I would assume that they don’t go cheap on security. UMMC is small compared to them, and have smaller resources. That’s no excuse just a fact.

probably more concerned with how one identifies than actual monitoring.

Don't send me any sherlock tickets. I need a beer after this week.

Basically the plot from The Pitt HBO this season.
