The clinic, also known as Mālama, said the hackers had access to personal data between May 4 and May 7, stealing information including Social Security numbers, passport numbers, financial account numbers with CVV numbers and expiration dates as well as troves of data on medical treatments. The organization said in a notice on its website that people “whose Social Security numbers were potentially impacted have been offered complimentary credit monitoring” but a filing with regulators in Maine said identity theft protection services are not being offered. Two major health systems running multiple hospitals — McLaren Health Care and Ascension — have dealt with devastating ransomware attacks and last week, one of the only level 1 trauma centers in the southwest was forced to turn away ambulances after an attack. The incident, which local news outlets reported was a ransomware attack, caused outrage among residents because Mālama was forced to close for nearly two weeks. The attack on Mālama was claimed in June by LockBit, a notorious ransomware gang that was shut down by law enforcement agencies earlier this year. On Tuesday, Europol and several law enforcement agencies announced a range of actions targeting the group, including four arrests and seizures of servers critical for LockBit’s infrastructure in France, the U.K. and Spain. The hackers also stole routing numbers, bank names, financial account numbers and some biometric data.
