The Rhysida group has set a ransom demand of 5 Bitcoin, approximately $137,000, and started a seven-day counter from the initial posting date. The stolen data has been listed for auction. The criminals are advertising "exclusive, unique, and impressive data" available to a single buyer.

Based on screenshots posted by the attackers as proof of compromise, the allegedly exposed data includes:

  • Patient health summaries
  • Medical record transfer requests
  • Pathology reports
  • Documents bearing Harbour Town Doctors' official letterhead
  • Personal patient information

The number of affected individuals is not disclosed. 

Harbour Town Doctors has not commented on the claims, and no official breach notification has been issued to patients or the public.
