Data visualization with a stethoscope
Earlier this month, reports started to reveal a widespread breach of medical data stolen in a cyberattack targeting the Florida Department of Health (DOH). The hackers claimed to have 100 gigabytes of information, including private patient records, and threatened to publish it online if the DOH refused to pay their ransom. Because the Florida government doesn’t pay ransoms, the hacker group uploaded all its stolen files to the dark web.
