Cogdell Memorial Hospital in Scurry County, Texas, was impacted by a cybersecurity incident that disrupted their computer network, limiting system access and telephone functionality.
This hospital is crucial for the community, operating 70 beds and offering an array of services as a Critical Access Hospital and Rural Health Clinic in a remote region which had a population of 16,932 as of the 2020 census.
The hospital took action by disconnecting from the network and managed to sustain most routine services.

At this moment there is no details available about the number of the affected individuals nor the data exposed in the breach.
