Tilbury District Family Health Team confirms patient data impacted by October ransomware attack

Posted on January 18, 2024 by Dissent

CKXS reports:

The fallout continues following last year’s ransomware attack that resulted in a massive data breach at five southwestern Ontario hospitals.

The Tilbury District Family Health Team (TDFHT) has confirmed that its patient health information was impacted by the cyberattack on October 23, 2023, which also resulted in varying amounts of patient and staff data being stolen from Bluewater Health, the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA), Erie Shores HealthCare, Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, and Windsor Regional Hospital.

The attack targeted TransForm Shared Service Organization, which runs technology systems at all five hospitals and TDFHT.
