   Almost a million patients hit by Frederick Health data breach   
      
   Date:

   Description:   
   No one has assumed responsibility for January 2025 breach that saw names,   
   SSNs, and more stolen.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   We now know how many people are affected by a recent ransomware attack on   
   Frederick Health Medical Group - almost a million.    
      
   The healthcare provider reported the new figures to the US Department of   
   Health and Human Services (HHS), noting how on January 27, 2025, it   
   experienced a  ransomware event on its IT systems.    
      
   The information taken varies from person to person, Frederick Health Medical   
   Group added, and while in the notice it does not discuss the number of   
   affected individuals, it did share a figure with the US HHS - 934,326   
   individuals.    
      
   The subsequent investigation determined that the threat actors managed to   
   steal certain files from a file share server.    
      
   These files included patient names, addresses, dates of birth, Social    
   Security numbers, drivers license numbers, medical record numbers, health   
   insurance information, and/or clinical information related to patient care.    
      
   So far, no threat actors have assumed responsibility for the attack, and the   
   data has not yet surfaced on the dark web, possibly suggesting Frederick   
   Health actually paid the ransom demand.    
      
   The organization has roughly 4,000 employees and more than 25 locations. To   
   mitigate the risk of the attack, it also offered all affected individuals    
   free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through IDX.    
      
   Healthcare organizations are a prime target for ransomware operators, given   
   the sensitivity of the data they operate with. In April 2025 alone, we've had   
   stories of a cybersecurity CEO who tried to install malware on hospital   
   computers, attacks on Yale Health and DaVita, and the data leak at Logezy.    
      
   Furthermore, Blue Shield of California also recently disclosed a data breach   
   that exposed sensitive data of 4.7 million members.
