    Hospital Impact hacked!

    September 19th, 2006

    Some of you may have seen that our blog was down today. Apparently some hackers found an "open access" folder in one of my directories and sent 1,000s of fradulent citibank emails with some kind of insecure script.

    Once my hosting company found the problem, they had to bring the site down. In fact, they were close to deleting everything! I caught them in the 11th hour and we identified the folder with the script and deleted it. Unfortunately, that folder contained all the photos I've used for the site for the last 18 months. Nonetheless, we are back in business!

    Anyway, thanks for your patience and for reading!

    ps - I'm still working on a few other technical problems with the RSS feed. Us non-technie new fathers are pretty slow and need help with that kind of stuff...

    I am concerned about the ability for a hacker to get into a hospital system even from within. Then wreck havoc on pt and staff how secure are our pt in the hospital? If they an hack you why not a hospital.
