Luverne, Ala.-based Crenshaw Community Hospital is warning patients of a scam posted on social media, the Luverne Journal reported.
A July 22 Facebook post seeming to be from a law office claimed to alert citizens of a data breach at the hospital with patients’ information having been posted to the dark web, according to the Aug. 3 story. The post, which has since been removed, invited individuals to submit claims for compensation.
A hospital spokesperson told the news outlet the organization is aware of the scam and working to address the matter.
