What Happened?
On November 2, 2024, Memorial Hospital And Manor discovered unusual activity that disrupted access to certain computer systems. An investigation revealed that an unknown actor accessed and acquired sensitive personal and health information without authorization.
Two days later on November 4, the ransomeware group, EMBARGO, posted on the dark web claiming to have collected 1.15 terabytes of data and intended to publish the data publicly within 2-3 days if their ransom demands were not met.
An investigation by Claim Depot into whether the ransom was paid or the data was published publicly was inconclusive.
The review of the impacted data by Memorial Hospital and Manor concluded on January 31, 2025.
