Ransomware Rampage: DaVita Data Breach Exposes 2.4 Million Patients’ Sensitive Info
Ransomware scum infiltrated DaVita’s labs database, pilfering personal and health information from 2.4 million individuals. Despite the breach, patient care remained unaffected, proving that while hackers can steal data, they can’t hijack resilience. DaVita is now offering complimentary credit monitoring, because nothing says “sorry for the cyber bungle” quite like free identity theft insurance!
Hot Take:
Looks like the ransomware scum have been busy again, pulling a fast one on DaVita’s database and making off with personal info like a cyber-age Robin Hood—minus the giving to the poor part. Maybe they thought they were donating data to a new research project: “How to Annoy the Living Daylights Out of Healthcare Providers.”
Key Points:
- DaVita’s labs database was breached, with 2.4 million people’s data compromised.
- The digital attack occurred from March 24 to April 12, 2023.
- The Interlock ransomware gang is suspected to be behind the breach.
- DaVita has offered credit monitoring to those affected.
- Despite the breach, patient care was not disrupted.
