Malwarebytes has discovered another Canadian hospital that has been attacked by ransomware.

According to a March blog post, the website of the Norfolk General Hospital was spreading TeslaCrypt via an Angler exploit kit just days after an attack against another Ontario-based facility, Ottawa Hospital.

The attack was due to the hospital website running a non-updated version of Joomia content management system (CMS). The site was running version 2.5.6, while the latest version is 3.4.8.

Malwarebytes contacted the hospital and was told they were working on updating their CMS.

This attack is another of a string of attacks agains hospitals in the U.S. and Canada this week. MedStar Health in Los Angeles was allegedly hit with a ransomware attack and in February Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center was also struck.
