Online services such as patient records and email have been down since Monday morning at five southwestern Ontario hospitals following a cyberattack, according to the hospitals' IT provider.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a news release Monday evening, TransForm said that it has determined that its member hospitals are experiencing a cyberattack.

It continues to say that patients with scheduled care appointments in the coming days will be contacted by their hospital to reschedule or make alternate arrangements.

TransForm's director of stakeholder relations, Michelle Watters, told CBC News that the organization would not be providing further comment.

All of the impacted hospitals released a joint statement on Monday night, noting that they might not be able to directly reach all patients ahead of time and might have to reschedule appointments for people in person.

This update comes after TransForm released a statement Monday afternoon stating that its member hospitals, as well as Windsor-Essex Hospice, were all impacted by a service outage.

It's unclear when systems will be back online, but TransForm said in its recent statement that it will provide updates as necessary and that its investigation is ongoing.
