Rudraksha Multispeciality Hospital in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh was attacked with Ransomware and threatened with the release of sensitive data on the dark web within 5-6 days. Flagged by FalconFeeds.io, the compromised information includes names, addresses, contact numbers, financial details, and other personally identifiable information (PII).
The ransomware, identified as “Kill Security Ransomware,” has already leaked samples of the stolen data via its Telegram channel, including invoices containing contact details, names, and other confidential information.
This incident follows a similar attack by the same ransomware group on Medicheck, a Belgian medical digital attendance provider. Over the past year, 14 victims of the Kill Security Ransomware have been spotted across various countries. Additionally, the online medical service Medicato recently fell victim to a separate ransomware group, RansomHub.
These incidents underscore the increasing frequency of ransomware attacks on the healthcare sector. Contributing factors include vulnerable systems, inadequate cybersecurity measures, and the high value of medical data, which leads to significant ransom demands being met swiftly.
To mitigate such threats, healthcare organizations must implement stringent access controls and authentication protocols, ensure that all systems are regularly updated with the latest security patches, and provide staff with robust cybersecurity training. Developing a comprehensive incident response plan is also essential to minimize the impact of potential breaches.
