There are rumors circulating this healthcare institution is affected by Bitcoin ransomware, as one staffer mentioned how she saw a pop-up on two different computer screens. In this pop-up windows, there was information about the infection, and instructions to pay a ransom through “some form of Internet currency”. Those details have not been officially confirmed at the time of publication, though.
