CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) - After five days, Lurie Children’s Hospital says it’s still actively responding to a cyber security attack.
Lurie Children’s Hospital is working with law enforcement agencies to investigate a system-wide network outage.
The cyberattack started last Wednesday. Computers, internet and phones remain all offline, making it difficult for patient families to access important medical information.
The hospital set up a call center for patients’ appointments and prescription refills. The phone number for the call center is 1-800-543-7362.
“We recognize the concern and inconvenience the systems outage may cause our patient-families and community providers and are working diligently to resolve this matter as quickly and effectively as possible,” the hospital said in a statement issued last week.
