Time’s Up: Ransomware Group Claims 150,000+ Cardiology Patient Records. We’ve Seen the Data.
A ransomware group called Orova claims to have stolen more than 150,000 patient records from Cardiology Associates of Port Huron, a Michigan cardiology practice operating across nine locations. Journalists have reviewed the data, which reportedly contains personally identifiable and protected health information.
Why this matters: Cardiology patients do not just hand over names and addresses. They share diagnoses, test results, medications, and the kind of intimate health details that follow people for life. More than 150,000 of them may now have that information sitting on a criminal leak site. Medical data is especially hard to take back once it is out. The practice has nine locations, so the exposure is spread across a wide community. The people most affected had no say in how their records were protected, and right now they likely do not even know this happened.
