Though the nonprofit hospital has not confirmed the attack, DAIXIN Team has been using the dark web to share a link to data that it stole from the hospital, according to a post from a JDSupra contributor.

That data contains patient protected health information, including patient names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, patient account numbers, Social Security numbers, medical information and treatment information, according to the report. 

The hackers also claim they stole data related to hospital employees’ salaries, information about the hospital’s data security system and database tables from its Meditech database. 

All information related to the breach comes from the hackers, according to the report.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
