Two Chicago hospitals are navigating the effects of recent cyberattacks. One, a children's hospital, has taken its IT network offline to respond to an incident, and the other, a nonprofit safety-net hospital, is being shaken down by cybercriminals asking for a hefty ransom in return for stolen data.
