Many hacker groups, including the one that posted the two hospitals' patient information, only leak sensitive files as retribution when their victims don't pay for ransomware.
A redacted image leaked from Leon Medical Centers. At least 560 health care providers were hit with ransomware in 2020, according to a survey by the cybersecurity firm Emsisoft. In October, several federal agencies issued warnings about "an increased and cybercrime imminent threat" directed at hospitals.
Google maps. Hackers have published extensive patient information from two U.S. hospital chains in an apparent attempt to extort them for money. The files, which number in at least the tens of thousands and were posted to a blog on the dark web that the hackers use to name and extort their victims, includes patients’ personal identifying ...
They come from the Leon Medical Centers, which serves eight locations in Miami, and Nocona General Hospital, which has three locations in Texas. The files also include at least tens of thousands of scanned diagnostic results and letters to insurers. One folder contains background checks on hospital employees.
Some ransomware gangs have increasingly turned to leaking their victims’ personal files online if they refuse to pay, but dumping such vast troves of personal medical information is a line that not many have crossed, Brett Callow, a ransomware analyst at Emsisoft, said.
Nocona didn't appear to have been a victim of ransomware, and no systems there appear to have been encrypted, Brian Jackson, an attorney representing the firm, said. "I can't tell you with absolute certainty that they did not send a ransom demand," he said in a phone call. "I can tell you we did not open one.".
In January, Leon Medical Centers announced that it had been hacked in November, and that it had soon determined that “certain files stored within Leon Medical’s environment that contain personal information had been accessed by the cybercriminals.”.
