Comparitech reported today that New York Blood Center Enterprises this week confirmed it notified 193,822 people of a January 2025 data breach that leaked names, SSNs, ID numbers, bank account info, health info, and test results. The attack was first reported back in January.
Commenting on this is Rebecca Moody, Head of Data Research at Comparitech:
“This attack becomes the 89th confirmed attack on a healthcare company (worldwide) this year so far. Across these attacks, nearly 6.7 million records are known to have been breached with this attack on NYBCe becoming the sixth largest based on records affected.”
“To date, no gangs have claimed the attack on NYBCe, and, with the attack happening back in January 2025, it’s unlikely we’ll see a claim from a gang now. This could mean that ransom negotiations were successful but NYBCe hasn’t confirmed this. Across the 89 confirmed attacks we’ve noted for this year, the average ransom demand has been just under $627,000.”
Once again the healthcare sector is ground zero for getting attacked by threat actors. I don’t know how much clearer it will have to become before something is done to put this sector on better footing.
