Cybercrime gang hacks major health data provider - millions of highly personal files could be at risk of breach

• World Leaks adds Freedman HealthCare to its data leak site
• The group claims to have exfiltrated tens of thousands of files
• The company is staying silent for now

A cybercrime gang claims to have breached Freedman HealthCare, a US-based consulting firm which helps states and healthcare organizations handle data, and allegedly stole thousands of sensitive files.

A threat actor called World Leaks added Freedman HealthCare to its data leak website. The group is a new entrant in the cybercrime space, with some saying it’s a rebrand of Hunters International, while others report it’s a spin-off of the infamous organization.

In any case, the group added the consulting firm to its site, but hasn’t yet uploaded any files, most likely to try and pressure it into paying the ransom demand.
