Read original articleThe Ransomhub ransomware gang has leaked data allegedly stolen from the Florida Department of Health, claiming to have taken over 100GB of information, including personally identifiable and protected health information. The group added the agency to its leak site after the department missed a ransom payment deadline due to Florida law prohibiting government entities from making such payments. The leaked data contains a variety of sensitive information such as service-related files, employee records, passport scans, prescriptions, and more. The Florida Department of Health confirmed a cybersecurity incident without providing details, which disrupted various services including the online system for birth and death certificates. Ransomhub, known for recent attacks on other organizations, was the third most active ransomware group in May. SecurityWeek has reached out to the Florida DOH for further information on the incident.
