Ransomware Madness: 113,000 Richmond Residents’ Data at Risk in RBHA Breach
Richmond Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA) fell victim to a ransomware attack, compromising the personal data of over 113,000 individuals. Despite quick action, the hackers made off with sensitive information. RBHA is urging everyone to keep an eye on their credit reports, because, apparently, even your Social Security number needs a bodyguard these days.
Hot Take:
When it comes to hackers, RBHA might want to consider offering therapy sessions for these cybercriminals, because clearly, they have some unresolved issues. With 113,000 people’s data potentially exposed, the Qilin group is about as welcome as a squirrel in a peanut butter factory. Maybe next time, RBHA will invest in cyber armor as strong as their crisis counseling.
Key Points:
- RBHA, serving Richmond, suffered a ransomware attack affecting 113,000 individuals’ personal data.
- The attack was identified on September 30, with attackers evicted immediately.
- Potentially accessed data includes names, Social Security numbers, and health information.
- The Qilin group claims responsibility, publishing 192 GB of stolen data.
- RBHA advises vigilance against identity theft and fraud.
