Hello followers! Today, let’s dive into a wild tale of cybercriminals, healthcare, and a massive data breach.
Recently, a ransomware gang called Interlock took credit for attacking Kettering Health, a big network of medical facilities in Ohio. After two weeks of chaos, the healthcare system is finally starting to recover, restoring key parts of its electronic records.
Interlock, a relatively fresh ransomware group that has been targeting U.S. healthcare organizations since September 2024, posted on its dark web site claiming it stole over 940 GB of data from Kettering Health. Initially, the group didn’t publicly take credit, but now they’ve come forward, likely because negotiations didn’t produce a ransom deal.
The stolen data includes sensitive information such as patient names, medical summaries, medication details, and even internal files of police officers linked to the hospital. According to reports, the hackers managed to access a broad spectrum of internal information, which could be used for further malicious activities.
Kettering Health’s team confirmed that they are working hard to restore their systems. They’ve managed to get critical parts of their health record system back online, a major milestone in returning to normal operations, including safer communication among healthcare providers.
If you have more info about this incident or other cyberattacks, you can contact Lorenzo securely via Signal, Telegram, Keybase, or email. The hospital’s leadership has stated they did not pay the ransom, aiming to avoid encouraging further cybercrime.
Stay safe in the digital world—cybersecurity is everyone’s business!
