Health information

The organization asserts that financial data, credit/debit card information, bank account information, and Social Security Numbers were not affected.

Paul Bischoff, Consumer Privacy Advocate at Comparitech, comments, “Patients should keep a close eye on their medical bills for signs of fraud, and immediately report anything suspicious. Be on the lookout for targeted phishing messages from scammers posing as a healthcare provider, insurance company, or a related business. These messages could be tailored using the private information exposed in the breach. Never click on links or attachments in unsolicited messages. Ransomware attacks on healthcare providers increased by 30 percent from July 2026 to August 2026, according to our latest report.”
