According to the website, RansomHouse listed on its leak site that it has 2.5 terabytes of the hospital’s data and provided some proof, along with a note: “Dear Mission Community Hospital Management, We strongly recommend you to contact us to prevent your confidential data or research data to be leaked or sold to a third party.” Rather than encrypting stolen files, the group reportedly just exfiltrates them and demands a ransom in exchange for deleting them and providing a security report, according to the story.
DataBreaches.net reviewed a letter from Mission Community’s outside general counsel that it discovered the breach while investigating a May 1 network switch failure and has since rejected the threat actor. Mission Community Hospital and RansomHouse did not respond to DataBreaches.net’s requests for comment.
