Ransomware groups have increased their attacks on hospitals and health service providers as Coronavirus pandemic persists and this is because of the sensitive information they carry, including information like social security numbers, financial and other personal data. A new ransomware gang called Vice Society claims it has obtained confidential patient data following an attack in August on California’s United Health Centers, which suffered a ransomware attack that disrupted several locations.
The stolen data includes insurance benefits, financial documents and laboratory test results and Vice Society has now begun leaking the stolen data.
