"McLaren Health Care Hit by Ransomware Attack, Patient Data Compromised"

McLaren Health Care has acknowledged that the ransomware attack on its computer network in August and September may have resulted in the leak of patient data on the dark web. The cyberattack, claimed by the BlackCat/AlphV gang, reportedly stole 6 terabytes of data, including personal information of 2.5 million patients. McLaren is currently investigating the extent of the data exposure and plans to notify affected individuals. The healthcare provider has also taken measures to strengthen its cybersecurity and ensure continuity of care. The claims made by the cybercriminals regarding a backdoor into McLaren's network have not been corroborated.
