Understanding the Kentfield Hospital Data Breach Incident
Kentfield Hospital, a critical care facility under Vibra Healthcare, has suffered an alleged data breach, reported recently and claimed by the ransomware group, World Leaks. World Leaks claims to have exfiltrated 146.4 GB of data, consisting of 140,683 files. DataBreaches.com was able to preview the data tranche and discovered it did contain the protected health information on named patients. Admissions-related folders contained patient folders from 2020 and 2021, but also with the first months of 2022. Other patient-related files from 2023 and 2024 were noted, including investigations of complaints involving patient care.
Hackers claim online to have exfiltrated 146.4 GB of data, including sensitive patient records that may include personal details such as names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, diagnoses, medications, and treatment histories for thousands of individuals.
If you received treatment at Kentfield Hospital, particularly between 2020 and 2024, your personal information might be at risk. The breach allegedly includes records from admissions, treatments, and discharges, potentially affecting patients, their families, and even hospital staff. Victims may now face an increased risk of medical identity theft and financial fraud.
The data breach incident has raised serious concerns about the hospital’s data security measures and the protection of patient privacy. We believe any entity that collects and stores your data has a duty to protect it. It is important to understand the risks of any data privacy violation and to remain vigilant for any signs of fraud or identity theft. Contact us to learn more about the next steps.
