The private health information of more than 15,000 patients was exposed after a Michigan surgical group was hacked.
The physician practice, Northeast Surgical Group, reported the breach to federal regulators Monday and classified it as a “hacking/IT incident,” public records show.
It appears that patient information was uploaded to the dark web by ransomware group BianLian, Brett Callow, a threat analyst for cybersecurity firm Emsisoft, confirmed for Healthcare Dive.
