The hackers threatened that if patients failed to pay the ransom, their personal health information would be leaked to the dark web. According to a Dec. 24 Integris Health data breach notice, the leaked information included name, date of birth, contact information, demographic information and Social Security number. 

The health system noted that payment information was not included in the breach and told patients not to respond to any emails from the hackers.
