Pathology Lab’s Data Drama: Ransomware Attack Exposes 235,911 Records!
Marlboro-Chesterfield Pathology fell victim to a ransomware attack, compromising the personal data of 235,911 individuals. The hackers, claiming responsibility under the name SafePay, might have received a payout since MCP has vanished from their leak site. It’s a classic case of “your data or your dignity.”
Hot Take:
Looks like Marlboro-Chesterfield Pathology’s IT department had a “ransom” note that even Sherlock Holmes would have a hard time decrypting. With over 235,000 personal records swiped by SafePay, it’s clear that the lab needs more than just a petri dish to culture some cybersecurity defenses. Perhaps they should start diagnosing their IT vulnerabilities before they’re the ones in desperate need of a digital autopsy!
Key Points:
- Marlboro-Chesterfield Pathology (MCP) fell victim to a ransomware attack.
- Hackers accessed personal information, including medical treatment details and health insurance data.
- The breach impacted 235,911 individuals.
- SafePay, a known ransomware group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
