PeakTPA was recently involved in a data breach that affected more than 50,000 patients after Netwalker stole records from their cloud servers.
In a breach notification provided to the California attorney general’s office, PeakTPA client Brandman Centers for Senior Care in Los Angeles said PeakTPA paid the ransom to Netwalker.
PeakTPA paid a ransom on Jan. 2 and received evidence that all information obtained was destroyed on Jan. 3, the notification said.
On Jan. 27, law enforcement officials disrupted Netwalker when they charged a suspected gang affiliate, disabled their dark web hidden resource and seized nearly $500,000 in cryptocurrency.
