Kidney Dialysis Disruption: Ransomware Gang Holds DaVita’s Data Hostage
The Interlock ransomware gang turned DaVita’s data into their own version of kidney beans, claiming responsibility for a cyberattack that encrypted systems and leaked 1510 GB of alleged sensitive data. As DaVita scrambles to restore order, the gang seems intent on proving that data can indeed be a dish best served cold.
Hot Take:
DaVita’s data had a rough week, but at least their patients are still getting their dialysis three times a week! Interlock Ransomware Gang seems to have misplaced their ‘Do Not Steal’ handbook, targeting a company that’s all about saving lives. Well, if stealing 1510 GB of data, including patient records, doesn’t scream “we need attention,” I don’t know what does. Maybe Interlock should consider a career in reality TV instead of ransomware?
Key Points:
– Interlock Ransomware Gang claimed responsibility for attacking DaVita, a leading kidney dialysis company.
– DaVita operates 2,675 outpatient centers in the U.S. and 367 centers globally, serving over 250,000 patients.
– The cyberattack disrupted DaVita’s internal operations, but patient care continuity remains a priority.
– Interlock allegedly stole 1510 GB of sensitive data, including patient records and financial information.
