SimonMed Imaging’s Data Breach: When Medical Records Go Rogue!
SimonMed Imaging, a U.S. medical imaging provider, is alerting over 1.2 million individuals about a data breach exposing sensitive info. Medusa ransomware claimed responsibility, demanding $1 million, but SimonMed isn’t on their leak site anymore—hinting they paid up. Meanwhile, affected patients can enjoy free identity theft services, no MRI required.
Hot Take:
Who knew that even your medical images could end up on the dark web? SimonMed Imaging got a rather unwelcome X-ray of their own systems when Medusa ransomware decided to play doctor. Perhaps they should’ve checked their cybersecurity health before their annual revenue physical!
Key Points:
- SimonMed Imaging suffered a data breach impacting over 1.2 million individuals’ sensitive information.
- The unauthorized access lasted from January 21 to February 5, 2023.
- Medusa ransomware claimed responsibility, demanding a $1 million ransom.
- SimonMed took immediate steps to contain the breach and involve law enforcement.
- Despite the breach, SimonMed has not found evidence of misuse of stolen data as of October 10.
