Cellular medical care agency DocGo confirmed it suffered a cyberattack after risk actors breached its techniques and stole affected person well being information.
DocGo is a healthcare supplier that provides cell well being providers, ambulance providers, and distant monitoring for sufferers in thirty US states and throughout the UK.
In a Tuesday night FORM 8-Ok submitting filed with the SEC, DocGo warned that they lately suffered a cyberattack and are working with third-party cybersecurity consultants to help within the investigation.
“Promptly after detecting unauthorized exercise, the Firm took steps to include and reply to the incident, together with launching an investigation, with help from main third-party cybersecurity consultants, and notifying related legislation enforcement,” reads the DocGo SEC submitting.
Whereas the Firm didn’t share how they responded to the incident, organizations generally shut down their IT techniques after detecting a breach to forestall the unfold of the assault.
As a part of DocGo’s investigation, it was decided that the hackers stole protected well being info from a “restricted variety of healthcare information” for the Firm’s US-based ambulance transportation enterprise.
DocGo is actively reaching out to people whose information was compromised within the assault.
The Firm stresses that no different enterprise items have been affected and that they’ve discovered no proof of continued unauthorized entry.
DocGo says that they do not consider the assault may have a fabric impression on the Firm’s operations and funds.
No risk actors have claimed accountability for the breach, but when it was a ransomware assault and a ransom isn’t paid, we are going to seemingly see the stolen information used as leverage sooner or later to extort DocGo.
