The Cancer Center of Hawaii

Profile narrative

The Cancer Center of Hawaii, also known as the Cancer Treatment Center of Hawaii, is a healthcare organization headquartered in the United States of America, with its base located in Hawaii. The organization provides cancer treatment services, including radiation therapy, to patients. It operates at least two treatment facilities that deliver these services. The center’s activities are focused on the administration of radiation‑based oncology care. Its role lies within the specialized segment of the healthcare sector that addresses cancer treatment.

On November 5, 2019, the Cancer Center of Hawaii was subjected to a cyberattack that targeted its computer networks, causing an immediate shutdown of its servers. This disruption resulted in a temporary cessation of radiation treatment services at both of the center’s treatment facilities. Consequently, critical medical procedures for cancer patients were suspended until the organization could restore its systems. The incident was reported by databreaches.net, which noted the impact on operations at both locations. The event highlights the dependence of modern medical facilities on secure information technology infrastructure. Following the attack, the center undertook recovery efforts to resume normal clinical activities. No further details regarding the organization’s size, ownership, or additional services are available in the provided sources.
