U.K. healthcare giant HCRG Care Group is investigating a cybersecurity incident after a ransomware gang claimed to have breached the company’s systems and stolen sensitive data.
The Medusa ransomware group has allegedly stolen more than two terabytes of data, including employees’ personal information, medical records, financial records, and government identification documents.
HCRG has confirmed the incident and is working with external forensic specialists to investigate. It has informed the Information Commissioner's Office and other regulators.
The Medusa ransomware group is demanding a $2 million ransom from HCRG, threatening to publish the stolen data if the payment is not made.
