“All computers are completely shut down,” one Universal Health Services employee told WIRED.

UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, a hospital and health care network with more than 400 facilities across the United States, Puerto Rico, and United Kingdom, suffered a ransomware attack early Sunday morning that has taken down its digital networks at locations around the US.

I can confirm this as BIL just had operation on 24th in USA and they are unable to access pathology or even schedule doctors (had to use ER for post op) and systems not expected to be normal for two weeks.  This appears to be extremely serious and already causing added deaths but very limited reporting.  It appears to be Russia based Ryuk virus.
