A cyber attack has shut down the computer network at the Center for Health Care Services, Bexar County’s largest provider of mental health and substance abuse services. CEO Jelynne LeBlanc Burley confirmed Tuesday that the company’s system was included in a larger-scale cyber attack last week that’s under investigation by federal law enforcement agencies. Burley said she doesn’t know whether the attacker demanded a ransom from the center. She said federal officials called the center last week about the attack, and that the center’s techs isolated the threat to a single computer server.

In total, the complete lack of access to Volia's services, according to the provider, lasted 12 minutes on May 31, 45 minutes on June 1.
