Security News > 2023 > December > Norton Healthcare discloses data breach after May ransomware attack
Kentucky health system Norton Healthcare has confirmed that a ransomware attack in May exposed personal information belonging to patients, employees, and dependents.
"On May 9, 2023, Norton Healthcare discovered that it was experiencing a cybersecurity incident, later determined to be a ransomware attack," it said in a press release published on Friday.
While Norton Healthcare didn't link the attack to a specific ransomware operation, the attack was claimed in late May by the ALPHV gang.
The ransomware gang also leaked dozens of files as proof of the breach and data exfiltration, containing some Norton Healthcare patients' Social Security numbers, bank statements, and more.
Norton Healthcare is just one of a long string of healthcare organizations in the United States that have fallen victim to ransomware.
Healthcare provider Ardent Health Services, which operates 30 hospitals across six U.S. states, also disclosed last month that it was hit by a ransomware attack.
