Millions of patients’ data confirmed stolen after Fortra mass-hack
Reading Time: < 1 minutesMillions of people across the U.S. had reams of personal and health information stolen in a mass-hack targeting dozens of companies, including healthcare providers, according to new filings with the federal government.
NationBenefits, a Florida-based technology company that offers supplementary benefits to its 20 million-plus members across the U.S., confirmed in April that hackers had stolen member data as the result of a mass ransomware attack targeting customers who used Fortra’s GoAnywhere file-transfer software.
At the time, NationBenefits confirmed that more than 7,100 state residents had their personal information stolen in the cyberattack, but the full number of affected individuals was not known.
Now, a listing on the U.S. Department of Health’s data breach portal confirms that more than three million NationBenefits members had data stolen in the incident, making it the third largest health data-related breach of 2023 so far.
NationBenefits is one of several healthcare providers whose Fortra-hosted systems were raided by hackers.
U.S. healthcare giant Community Health Systems in February was the first to confirm that hackers had stolen data from its Fortra system. In a notice, the healthcare provider said hackers had accessed the personal data of at least one million patients.
