Rhysida is a ransomware operation that launched in May 2023 and quickly rose to notoriety after attacking the Chilean Army and leaking its data.
Now, the Rhysida ransomware gang has claimed the attack on Prospect Medical Holdings, threatening to sell the company's allegedly stolen data for 50 Bitcoins.
The gang's data leak site also shared numerous screenshots of driver's licenses, social security cards, documents, and what appears to be patients' medical information.
