Walden Presses Tech Company on Malware Outbreak

A malware outbreak in healthcare dictation and transcription technology prompted House Commerce Committee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., to send a letter to Nuance, a computer software firm that was affected by NotPetya malware, the committee said Thursday. The company reportedly restored services that were infected, but Walden said the incident "adds to the growing list of concerns about the potential consequences of cyber threats to the health care sector." Nuance didn't comment.
