Cell medical care agency DocGo confirmed it suffered a cyberattack after menace actors breached its programs and stole affected person well being information.
DocGo is a healthcare supplier that gives cellular well being companies, ambulance companies, and distant monitoring for sufferers in thirty US states and throughout the UK.
In a Tuesday night FORM 8-Okay submitting filed with the SEC, DocGo warned that they lately suffered a cyberattack and are working with third-party cybersecurity specialists to help within the investigation.
“Promptly after detecting unauthorized activity, the Company took steps to contain and respond to the incident, including launching an investigation, with assistance from leading third-party cybersecurity experts, and notifying relevant law enforcement,” reads the DocGo SEC submitting.
Whereas the Firm didn’t share how they responded to the incident, organizations generally shut down their IT programs after detecting a breach to forestall the unfold of the assault.
As a part of DocGo’s investigation, it was decided that the hackers stole protected well being data from a “limited number of healthcare records” for the Firm’s US-based ambulance transportation enterprise.
DocGo is actively reaching out to people whose information was compromised within the assault.
The Firm stresses that no different enterprise models have been affected and that they’ve discovered no proof of continued unauthorized entry.
DocGo says that they do not imagine the assault can have a fabric influence on the Firm’s operations and funds.
No menace actors have claimed duty for the breach, but when it was a ransomware assault and a ransom just isn’t paid, we’ll seemingly see the stolen information used as leverage sooner or later to extort DocGo.
BleepingComputer contacted DocGo to learn the way many individuals had been affected by the breach however a reply was not instantly accessible.
