Patient information from over 400,000 Planned Parenthood Los Angeles (PPLA) visitors has been accessed in a cyberattack targeting the California reproductive health provider.
PPLA found suspicious activity on its computer network on October 17, 2021. In response to the breach, the organization notified law enforcement and a third-party cybersecurity investigative team, which is conducting an ongoing investigation into the breach. The cybersecurity team determined that a cyberattacker accessed the PPLA network between October 9 and 17, installed malware and ransomware and exfiltrated files containing patient data from the Planned Parenthood system.
