The breach also compromised patient medical billing and insurance information, as well as diagnoses and medication.<\/p>\n Intellihartx is the latest company to come forward as a victim of the mass ransomware attack<\/a> targeting Fortra\u2019s GoAnywhere file-transfer software, which organizations use for sharing large data sets across the internet. The Clop ransomware group claimed responsibility for mass-exploiting a previously undisclosed security flaw in Fortra\u2019s GoAnywhere software in February, which affected more than a hundred companies and organizations, including digital financier Hatch Bank<\/a>, security giant Rubrik<\/a>, and the City of Toronto<\/a>.<\/p>\n Millions of patients<\/a> across the United States also had their health information stolen in the cyberattack, including children\u2019s data<\/a>.<\/p>\n The impact of Clop\u2019s ransomware attack prompted the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to publish an alert<\/a> warning that the ransomware group was targeting the healthcare industry.<\/p>\n Clop has targeted other vendors of file transfer tools, including Accellion\u2019s file transfer appliance<\/a> and more recently, a mass-hack involving MOVEit<\/a>, a file transfer tool developed by Progress Systems.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
