WASHINGTON — In September 2021, Coos County Family Health Services was hit with a ransomware attack that shut down its computer, phone and email systems. The attack forced CCFHS, a main supplier of health services in the Androscoggin Valley, to close some of its clinics for days.

U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) raised the attack last week during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing.
