“A Sault Tribe data security incident has impacted Sault Tribe Health Division’s ability to provide comprehensive medical services,” Lowes said. A recent ransomware attack on the Sault Tribe in Michigan has knocked many of its most critical services offline. All scheduled appointments at the medical office for primary care services, radiology office and the Dental Department have been cancelled but they are still accepting emergency walk-ins. Elder services — which include meal programs, transportation and home health aide visits — are still fully operational but many other services are only available in person or are not connected to technological systems. On Tuesday, Lowes provided an update on the tribal Facebook page, warning that the attack has had a devastating impact on the tribe’s health division. Michigan governments continue to face a barrage of ransomware attacks after multiple incidents in 2024 impacted Wayne County, the city of Flint and Traverse City. It is the largest federally-recognized tribe in Michigan and has been able to pay for many of its community resources through its ownership of the Kewadin Casinos.
