Show Notes
Kettering Health faces over two hundred lawsuits following a ransomware attack in May 2025, which disrupted systems for over two weeks, causing appointment cancellations, test delays, and patient data exposure. The attack led to real harm for patients, including interrupted treatments and trouble getting prescriptions. A law firm has filed individual personal injury claims, treating them as mass torts for custom damages. The outage forced a switch to paper records, ambulance diversions, and no access to online patient portals or phone lines. Despite the hospital not paying the ransom, a ransomware group claimed to have grabbed nine hundred forty-one gigabytes of data, including over seven hundred thirty thousand files. Operations returned to normal by mid-June, but lawsuits continue to pile on, with plaintiffs seeking jury trials and pushing the health system to face the consequences of the chaotic weeks.
