"CardioComm Takes Systems Offline Following Cyberattack"

Canadian heart monitoring and medical electrocardiogram solutions provider CardioComm recently announced it has taken systems offline following a cyberattack.  The company stated that the cyberattack impacted its production server environments and has an impact on its business operations.  Visitors to the company’s website are informed that CardioComm services are currently offline.  The company noted that business operations will be impacted for several days and potentially longer depending on how quickly they are able to restore its data and re-establish its production server environments.  According to CardioComm, it has no evidence that customer health information was compromised in the attack, mainly because its software runs on each client’s systems.  CardioComm noted that it does not collect patient health information from its clients.  The incident, the company noted, might also impact its ability to finalize required filings in response to a Cease Trade Order issued by the Ontario Securities Commission, which resulted in the suspension of its shares trading, imposed by the TSX Venture Exchange.  Although CardioComm did not share details on the type of cyberattack it fell victim to, it is possible that ransomware might have been involved.  CardioComm provides hospital, physician, and consumer device software for recording, analyzing, and managing electrocardiograms for the diagnosis of cardiac patients.
