On January 11, 2018, Hancock Health in Greenfield, Indiana experienced a ransomware attack on the hospital’s information systems. The hackers used compromised account credentials to target a server located in the emergency IT backup facility. This caused havoc with critical information systems. The University of Vermont Health Network in Burlington, Vermont was attacked on October 8, 2020, with malware infecting hospital information systems.

In this webinar, Steve Long, CEO of Hancock Health, will talk about his experiences with mobilizing disaster response procedures.

Alice Stokes, Research and Education Librarian at the University of Vermont, will address ways that library services are impacted by ransomware attacks.
