Epworth HealthCare Investigates Unverified 920 GB Data Theft Claim by 0APT Ransomware Group
Learn More
Epworth HealthCare, a major non-profit healthcare provider in Victoria, Australia, is investigating claims of a massive data breach by the 0APT ransomware group. The group claims to have stolen 920 GB of sensitive Information and that it's negotiating with the provider.
The stolen data allegedly includes:
- Surgical records
- Patient names
- Clinical information
- Billing details for services in USD and AUD
The number of affected individuals is not disclosed.
Epworth HealthCare has stated it found no evidence of a compromise within its internal systems and that patient care remains fully operational and safe across all hospital locations. The very specific wording about internal systems still does not fully deny an incident at a third party supplier or subcontractor that exposed the data.
Some threat intelligence trackers, such as Ransomware.live, have flagged the group as unreliable due to a lack of verifiable victims.
