UVM Network hospitals hit with 'significant' network issue

The University of Vermont Health Network has “experienced a significant and ongoing system-wide network issue” and is investigating all causes including a possible cyberattack, officials said Thursday, as federal agencies are warning about cyber-assaults against the U.S. health care system. Some changes have been made to patient appointments and the network was trying to reach impacted patients, said spokesman Neal Goswami in a text. The outage has affected its six hospitals in various ways.
