BURLINGTON â The University of Vermont (UVM) Health Network continues to make strides in its recovery after the Oct. 28 cyber attack that impacted its information and technology infrastructure.
The health network confirmed Tuesday that it was ransomware, a type of virus that usually involves a request for money, which caused the attack. While a note was found in the malware, it did not specifically and immediately ask for a ransom, however. Instead, staff says it had instructions to contact the criminals responsible for the attack.
UVM Health Network officials say that no one followed the instructions of the note; rather, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was contacted.
