- Davita reveals more about the effects of the attack on ransomware April 2025
- The Interlock group has stolen sensitive files over thousands of people
- Affected patients have offered free identity flight monitoring
The American health care company Davit revealed that it had undergone a ransomware attack and a data violation earlier this year which saw the data of stolen patients.
The company, specializing in the provision of renal care services, has filed a new form to the Office of the Washington State General, in which it confirmed that the attack had taken place between March 24 and April 12, 2025, and saw the criminals take the names of people, social security numbers (SSN), driving license numbers, Washington identity numbers and information Banking, complete dates of birth, health insurance policy or identification numbers, and other medical information.
In the state of Washington only, more than 13,000 people were affected, the total number of victims unknown at that time.
Interlock takes credit
Davita also shared the letter of notification of violation of the data she sent to the victims, which said that he had spotted the attack on April 12 and ousted the infiltrates on the same day. Third -party legal medicine experts have been brought and the police were informed.
The data entered came from its Dialysis Labs database and, varying from one person to another, could include certain clinical information such as state of health, other information on processing and certain results of dialysis laboratory tests.
“For some people, information included tax identification numbers and in limited cases of images of checks written in Davita.”
According to CybernessThe attack was the work of the Locking Ransomware group, which emerged at the end of 2024, and has since succeeded in reaching at least 51 organizations.
Although the Company says that there is no evidence that the data is used to unpleasant in the wild, it urged its patients to be wary of incoming emails, in particular unsolicited messages claiming to come from Davita itself. Patients must also examine their account declarations and monitor their free annual credit reports for suspicious activity and potential errors.
Davita offered free protection for identity theft and credit monitoring, via Experian Identityworks.
