On June 3, 2024, Wayne Memorial Hospital (“WMH”) became aware of suspicious activity on its computer system, indicating a data breach and ransomware attack. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, WMH determined that cybercriminals infiltrated this inadequately secured network and gained access to WMH’s files between May 30, 2024 and June 3, 2024. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals potentially accessed and/or acquired files containing the sensitive personal information of 163,440 individuals.
The Monti ransomware group claimed responsibility for the WMH attack and added Wayne Memorial Hospital to its data leak site.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Financial account information
- Payment card information
- Medical information
- Diagnoses information and test results
- Prescription information
- Health insurance information
- Driver’s license numbers
- Dates of birth
- State identification numbers
As a result of the Wayne Memorial Hospital data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
