An affiliate of the infamous LockBit ransomware-as-a-service program recently attacked SickKids.ca – the Hospital for Sick Children. SickKids is a major pediatric teaching hospital located on University Avenue in Toronto, Canada, and Affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Toronto.
During the attack, the threat actor managed to partially disable corporate systems, hospital phone lines, and the website. As a result, the hospital has had trouble receiving lab and imaging results, with the patients having to wait longer for their test results.
