Comparitech reported today that Goshen Medical Center, Inc. has started notifying 456,385 people of a data breach following a cyber attack that started in February 2025. Ransomware gang BianLian claimed the attack in late March.
Commenting on this is Rebecca Moody, Head of Data Research at Comparitech:
“This week has seen three of the six largest data breaches (via ransomware) on US healthcare companies this year. This attack on Goshen Medical Center becomes the third largest, while Medical Associates of Brevard, LLC takes fourth place (notifying nearly 247,000 of a January 2025 breach via BianLian) and New York Blood Center Enterprises takes sixth place (nearly 194,000 affected in a January 2025 attack via unknown hackers).”
“All three of these attacks highlight two key things. First, they demonstrate how the healthcare sector remains a dominant target for ransomware gangs because of the amount of sensitive data up for grabs. Second, they serve as a reminder that it’s often months before we find out about the extent of these attacks.”
“So, while ransomware attacks on the US healthcare sector may seem lower than last year (we’ve noted 61 confirmed attacks and 6.1 million breached records so far this year, compared to 174 attacks and 28.6 million breached records in total last year), we shouldn’t focus too much on these as of yet. It’s highly likely we’ll see a number of other major breaches coming through in the coming months. For example, we still don’t know how many were impacted in the attack on Kettering Health and out of
Two things jump out at me. First BianLian is quite busy with a growing list of victims. Second health care is yet again a victim of a cyberattack. Clearly there’s no end to the madness which is bad news for all of us.
