What Happened?
On September 3, 2024, Brunswick Hospital Center discovered suspicious activity on certain systems within its computer network. After an investigation with the help of cybersecurity specialists, it was determined that an unauthorized party gained access to specific systems between July 17, 2024 and August 6, 2024. During this time, the unauthorized actor viewed or downloaded sensitive data.
A ransomware group known as ThreeAM claimed responsibility for the attack and stated that they published the hospital’s data on their dark web portal. The breach was reported to federal law enforcement and appropriate regulators.
