Security News > 2023 > February > Healthcare giant CHS reports first data breach in GoAnywhere hacks

The healthcare provider giant said on Monday that Fortra issued an alert saying that it had "Experienced a security incident" leading to some CHS data being compromised.
A subsequent investigation revealed that the resulting data breach affected the personal and health information of up to 1 million patients.
"While that investigation is still ongoing, the Company believes that the Fortra breach has not had any impact on any of the Company's information systems and that there has not been any material interruption of the Company's business operations, including the delivery of patient care," CHS said an 8-K filing with the SEC first spotted by DataBreaches.net.
Clop also said they had allegedly stolen the data over ten days after breaching GoAnywhere MFT servers vulnerable to exploits targeting the CVE-2023-0669 RCE bug.
At the time, the victims received emails demanding $10 million in ransoms to avoid having their data published on the cybercrime group's data leak site.
If Clop follows a similar extortion strategy, we will likely see a rapid release of data for non-paying victims on the threat actor's data leak site in the near future.
