Quest Diagnostics Shuts Down Systems After Cyberattack

Hackers hit one of the largest medical testing companies in the country. Quest Diagnostics took its computer networks offline after intruders gained access to private patient records.

The company spotted the attack and moved quickly. Leaders shut down several internal networks to stop the breach from spreading. Technicians are working to secure the data and restore normal operations.

Quest processes millions of blood tests and lab results each year. The company is now checking to see exactly which personal health records were exposed during the incident.

Keep an eye on your medical bills and account statements. Watch for strange emails or calls that ask for your personal details.
