FULL STORY
======================================================================Two US 
healthcare firms confirmed suffering a cyberattack More than 300,000 victims 
have had sensitive data stolen Rhysida claimed responsibility for the attack 
and added the data to its leak site 

Ransomware operators Rhysida are claiming responsibility for cyberattacks on 
two US healthcare organizations. 

On its data leak site, they listed Sunflower Medical Group, and Community 
Care Alliance (CCA). The former is a healthcare provider in the Kansas City 
metropolitan area offering services such as primary care, urgent care, 
pediatrics, and more. The latter is a unified human service agency offering 
more than 50 programs. 

Combined, it seems that more than 300,000 people have had their sensitive 
data compromised as a result of these attacks. No abuse yet 

In a public announcement posted on its website, Sunflower said that the 
attackers broke into the systems on December 15, but were only spotted and 
ousted a month later, around January 7. 

During that time, they stole peoples names, addresses, dates of birth, Social 
Security numbers, drivers license numbers, medical information, and health 
insurance information. In a filing with the Maine Attorney Generals Office, 
Sunflower said 220,968 people were affected. 

CCA, on the other hand, was struck in July last year, and claims that the 
miscreants took peoples names, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license 
numbers, and SSNs, as well as diagnoses and conditions, lab results, 
medications, patient ID numbers, health insurance information, provider 
names, and other data. Its filing with the Maine Attorney Generals Office 
puts the number of affected people at 114,945. 

As for Rhysida, the ransomware operators claim to have 7.6 TB worth of 
Sunflowers data, including a 3TB SQL database, The Register reports. Since 
the data is still listed on the site, it means either that the negotiations 
are ongoing, or that theyve broken down. 

In any case, Rhysida is yet to leak everything on the dark web, and at press 
time, there was no indication of abuse in the wild. Both organizations said 
they tightened up on security following the incident.
