The incident happened Thursday, Aug. 3, at the California-based company which has facilities in Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Texas, according to USA Today.

The ransomware attack had Delaware County-based Crozer Health's systems offline, Crozer spokeswoman Lori Bookbinder tells Daily Voice. The attack impacted all of Crozer's sites (click here for a complete list).

"We have experienced a ransomware attack that is Prospect-wide, and are having experts investigate the situation," Bookbinder said. "There has been no impact on the quality of patient care. We will provide updates as appropriate."

Nurses at Crozer-Chester are using a paper system due to systems being down, CBS News reports.

A Crozer Health spokesperson did not immediately return Daily Voice's request for comment. Daily Voice also placed an information request to PMH, which was not immediately returned as of Friday, Aug. 4 at 1:45 p.m.
