Logansport Memorial Hospital working to avoid another cyber security breach

Logansport Memorial Hospital patient information is safe after a cybersecurity breach in February, according to an article on the 18WLFI website.

The Logansport, Ind., hospital isn't calling it a hacking but a phishing attack.
