Two Ransomware Groups Claim Attacks on Nationwide Home Healthcare Provider

Why this matters: Home health care records are about as sensitive as data gets. They include diagnoses, medications, mental health history, and details about people who are often elderly or disabled and receiving care at home. Two groups claiming the same target at the same time suggests either a coordination or a competition to extract leverage. Either way, the people whose records are at stake did not choose to hand that information to criminals. They chose to get medical help. When a provider this size gets hit, the damage is not abstract. Real patients face real exposure, and they are usually the last to find out.
