ARH Investigating Cyber Attack

The Floyd County Times reports McDowell ARH has been the victim of a cyber attack. Technical difficulties due to a computer virus lead to ARH computers being shut down at Kentucky and West Virgina ARH hospitals to prevent further spread of the virus. A federal investigation is ongoing while facilities follow the Emergency Operations Plan doing paperwork by hand. Hospital officials ask individuals seeking treatment at an ARH facility to bring all prescribed medication to upcoming appointments until further notice.
