According to a UPMC Spokesperson,  UPMC has been impacted by the worldwide CrowdStrike cybersecurity outage affecting fewer than 10% of its Microsoft Windows-based devices at some of  their facilities.

UPMC’s IT team intervened early to mitigate the problem and is restoring servers and PCs. Patient care has not been affected and the facilities are operational. The emergency departments are open and appointments and procedures will proceed as scheduled.
