A pediatrics practice, ABCD Pediatrics, serving the San Antonio, Texas metropolitan area reported that it was hit with a ransomware attack, but existing antivirus software helped to slow down the attack, and the practices IT vendor successfully removed the virus and all corrupt data from its servers. However, because hackers may have accessed portions of the practices network, the pediatrics group is offering identity and credit protection services from Equifax Personal Solutions to all of its patients.
