"Patient data stolen ahead of CentraState cyberattack, impacting 617K"

“CentraState has confirmed that threat actors stole a copy of an archived database containing patient data ahead of its reported cyberattack and subsequent network outage in December and January. Estimates show approximately 617,000 patients were affected.“

“The New Jersey hospital reported a cyberattack Dec. 30 led to the launch of electronic health record downtime procedures. CentraState faced “technical problems related to an IT security issue” and were forced to deploy care diversion processes in response to the network outages.“

“The use of paper processes enabled the hospital to continue logging patient care through the records available on site. Outside of its initial report, officials did not disclose further details into the attack. The breach notice answers some of those lingering questions.“

“The attack was deployed on Dec. 29, discovered by CentraState as “unusual activity” on its computer systems. The hospital took action to contain the incident and began investigating with help from an outside forensics firm.“
