Texas county says 47,000 had SSNs, medical treatment info leaked during May cyberattack

“A cyberattack in May gave hackers access to the personal, financial and medical information of more than 47,000 residents living in Wichita County, Texas. “

“County officials filed breach notification documents with regulators in Texas as well as Maine and posted a notice on their website warning residents that the incident involved everything from names, Social Security numbers and government IDs to financial account information, health insurance information and some types of medical treatment information. “

“The incident began on May 7 when the county experienced a network disruption requiring an investigation. The investigation lasted until September 3, when officials fully learned what information was stolen and how many people were affected. “

“At the end of May, the Medusa ransomware gang claimed it stole information from the Wichita County Mounted Patrol — an organization that runs rodeo competitions. The county did not respond to requests for comment about whether the 1.5 TB of data in that post was related to the cyberattack the county faced that same month. The ransomware gang demanded a $320,000 ransom that was not paid. “
