Florida Health Department Hack - HIV Data Leaked

Quote
Hackers this week leaked over 20,000 Florida Department of Health (DOH) files containing sensitive personal information, including HIV test results, immunization records and more, according to The Tampa Bay Times.

The hacker group RansomHub targeted DOH, which is said to be working with law enforcement and taking additional action to protect Floridians’ personal information. DOH officials said they would notify those whose personal information was illegally released, in accordance with state law.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, RansomHub demanded that the state pay an undisclosed ransom amount to avert the leak. Per state policy, DOH did not pay the ransom, and so the group posted the files, including patients’ lab results, signed medical release forms, workers compensation records and COVID-19 diagnoses, on the dark web.
