120K Victims Compromised in Memorial Hospital Data Breach

In Bainbridge, Ga., the small Memorial Hospital and Manor is notifying 120,000 individuals that their personal information was stolen in a ransomware attack.

The ransomware attack was first disclosed in November, but at the time, it said that though its systems were down, and staff would have to revert to pen and paper to record patient information, its operations remained uninterrupted. 

Some of the personal information may have been impacted include names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, health insurance information, medical treatment, and medical history. 

"Please note that Memorial has no current evidence to suggest misuse or attempted misuse of personal information involved," Memorial wrote, though now that this information is readily available on a public site, it may not be long before threat actors use it to their advantage.
