Axis Health System, a healthcare nonprofit overseeing 13 facilities in southwest and western Colorado, experienced a cyberattack that has significantly affected its operations.
The attack disrupted the primary care patient portal used for communication between patients and providers. The attack was claimed by the Rhysida ransomware gang, which demanded over $1.5 million to unlock the data.
Axis Health has not provided specific details regarding the timeline of the breach or the extent of the impact but confirmed that an investigation is underway to determine if patient data was compromised.
Axis Health urged patients to directly contact their clinics for communication with providers as the portal remains offline. Despite requests for additional information, Axis Health has not commented further on the extent of the breach.
