Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation breached, patient data involved

Posted on March 23, 2024 by Dissent

A new leaksite appeared this past week that appears to have been created for one particular incident. The notice begins:

Dear Visitor of Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation LEAK website:

We regret to inform you that Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation has experienced a complete data breach from its internal servers.
This includes the data of all patients, medical histories, personal information (including SSN), MRI images, and various other sensitive records.
While the institution is aware of this breach, they have chosen to downplay the incident and claim ignorance in the media.

There’s more to the listing. It is the type of listing experienced incident responders and journalists have come to expect: executives are named and blamed, patients are encouraged to contact the executives to pressure them, and as we’ve occasionally seen, patients are told they can pay the criminals a small amount to delete their data from any public leak.

Although the listing is not on a previously known Tor URL, the writing seems familiar. DataBreaches emailed one particular ransomware group to ask if this might be their work but has not received any response.

CHCC is a HIPAA-covered entity. It is not common to see an attack on an entity in the Northern Mariana Islands. DataBreaches has contacted CHCC to request answers to questions about the claimed attack but no reply has been immediately received.
