About Tri-City Medical Center
Tri-City Medical Center, situated in Oceanside, California, functions as a healthcare provider catering to the communities of Carlsbad, Oceanside, and Vista, along with the neighboring areas. Beyond its hospital services, Tri-City Medical Center manages outpatient services and clinics specializing in orthopedics, primary care, pulmonary, oncology, and urology.
What Happened?
Tri-City Medical Center reportedly experienced a ransomware attack on Thursday, 9th November 2023, leading to a disruption in the facility’s capability to admit patients. Tri-City Medical Center has reported a data breach, as outlined in an article by Databreaches.net. In response to this cyber security attack, the hospital redirected ambulance traffic to alternative medical facilities, adversely affecting its ability to handle emergency cases.
The hospital stated that the incident “is similar to situations that have impacted other health care providers across the country.” While Tri-City Medical Center has acknowledged the breach, confirmation of potential patient data leakage is still pending. If confirmed, the hospital will need to send out data breach letters to individuals whose information was impacted by the security breach.
The Tri-City Medical Center recently announced a partnership with UC San Diego Health, which was set to take over the healthcare facility’s operations next March.
In 2021, UC San Diego itself fell victim to a data breach where employee email accounts were targeted, potentially containing personal information about patients, students, and employees. UCSD Health said patient care was otherwise unaffected.
Approximately 147,000 patients faced potential impact from a ransomware attack on Scripps Health in 2021. A year later, the healthcare system reached a class-action settlement. In 2020, San Ysidro Health experienced a comparable attack that led to the compromise of patient information.
