I was visiting a friend yesterday at UF Leesburg Hospital shortly after noon and the computers were inoperable. I wasn’t given a reason, nor ask for one so your guess is as good as mine. I will say the staff seemed very concern and the situation rather chaotic. Was it a cyber attack or just another internal computer system problem?
