AnMed, a hospital system serving Anderson County, South Carolina, is reporting significant progress in recovering from a recent cybersecurity incident that disrupted its operations. The incident involved the deployment of malware, prompting extensive efforts to restore affected systems and communications.

Agencies involved include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED). The specific nature and extent of the malware’s impact are still under examination as part of these official investigations.
