Flint, Michigan-based Hurley Medical Center was targeted with a cyber 
attack this past week, soon after the hacktivist group Anonymous released

The attack was confirmed by the hospital on Jan. 21.

"Hurley Medical Center has IT systems in place, which aid in detecting a

"As such, all policies and protocols were followed in relation to the
