Restoration is a complex process, and we are testing those systems for safety and quality as they are being restored,” the company said in an online update.Luminis was hit by the cyberattack on Sept. 4 and informed patients on Sept. 10.Patients of the hospitals are seeking a class action suit against the company last week alleging that it did not take proper measures to protect patient data.The lawsuit says tens of thousands of patients may have been impacted, and requests credit monitoring and monetary damages.Luminis provides care for more than 1.8 million patients in Maryland.Cyberattacks have become more common in the healthcare sphere in recent years.Baltimore’s St. Agnes Ascension Hospital was struck by an attack in 2024 compromising its systems.That same year, Optum, a company that processes insurance claims for medical facilities, was attacked by hackers.That intrusion sent shockwaves through the community as some hospitals and offices were unable to get payment.The breach also compromised the personal information of about a third of all Americans.</div></body>
