Chicago's Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital has been operating at reduced capacity for over a week following a cyberattack, impacting internet-connected equipment and causing difficulties for parents to communicate with doctors. The incident, consistent with a ransomware attack, has led to disruptions in appointments, surgeries, and access to medical records.
