GREENFIELD It’s been nearly three years since Hancock Regional Hospital paid online hackers $55,000 to regain access to its computer systems.
Officials say the hospital’s network is now more secure than ever, but cyber attacks remain a constant threat.
In early November, hospital officials received an FBI warning that a criminal group from eastern Europe was targeting health care organizations in the United States with ransomware attacks.
The FBI urged all hospitals to take “timely and reasonable precautions” in preparation, said Hancock Health CEO Steve Long, and Hancock Regional has responded by beefing up its internal safeguards.

However, many Americans will likely gather on Christmas and New Year’s Eve anyway. During the past weekend, airports screened more than a million passengers each day, the most since Nov. 29, in a sign that public health pleas to avoid holiday travel are being ignored, despite an alarming surge in COVID-19 cases, The Associated Press reported.
