Scripps Health this week began notifying more than 147,000 individuals that their financial and health information was contained in documents stolen by attackers who deployed ransomware on the healthcare organization s network in May.
In a statement Tuesday, San Diego-based Scripps Health says its investigation into the incident discovered on May 1 has determined that an unauthorized person gained access to its network, deployed malware and, on April 29, acquired copies of some of the documents containing patient information. As the investigation is ongoing, we do not yet know the content of the remainder of documents we believe are involved, though we are working with third party experts to determine those facts as quickly as possible, Scripps Health says.
