Cyble Inc ☛ RansomHub Claims Breaches: Florida Health Dept., NTT DATA
The Florida Department of Health, the first accredited public health system in the United States, has reportedly fallen victim to a ransomware attack by the notorious RansomHub group. The attackers claim to have accessed a staggering 100 GB of organizational data and have threatened to publish the stolen information within the next three to four days.
The implications of such a breach are potentially devastating, given the sensitive nature of the data held by the Florida Department of Health. The organization is responsible for a wide range of public health services, from disease prevention and health promotion to emergency preparedness and response. A data leak of this magnitude could expose personal health information, disrupt health services, and undermine public trust in the state’s health system.
