Security News > 2023 > June > Harvard Pilgrim Health Care ransomware attack hits 2.5 million people
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care has disclosed that a ransomware attack it suffered in April 2023 impacted 2,550,922 people, with the threat actors also stealing their sensitive data from compromised systems.
The Massachusetts-based non-profit health services provider shared this information-which corresponds to roughly all its members-to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services breach portal.
"Unfortunately, the investigation identified signs that data was copied and taken from our Harvard Pilgrim systems from March 28, 2023, to April 17, 2023," reads the notice.
As a result of the attack, coverage under Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Commercial and Medicare Advantage Stride systems is impacted.
It's important to note that ransomware gangs often exploit stolen data to pressure victims into complying with ransom demands.
No ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the attack on HPHC, according to the information available at this time.
