CODAC Behavioral Healthcare is Rhode Island\u2019s oldest and largest nonprofit, outpatient provider of treatment for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and runs seven community-based locations. CODAC works with individuals, families, and communities and provides comprehensive resources to those living and struggling with the challenges of substance use disorder and behavioral healthcare issues.<\/p>\n Within the stolen data, Malwarebytes Labs noticed financial information, pictures of ID cards, a list of staff members\u2014including their Social Security Numbers (SSNs)\u2014and healthcare cards.<\/p>\n Ransomware attacks are evolving around the world, as cybercriminals have steadily advanced their tactics to not only encrypt and lock up systems once inside an organization, but to also steal sensitive data and then threaten to publish it as a way to add extra pressure to their demands. Attacks are at an all-time high in 2024<\/a>, and attacks specifically targeting healthcare and support organizations<\/a> represent a large portion of all attacks in the US. <\/p>\n As ThreatDown reported<\/a> earlier in 2024, 70% of all known attacks on healthcare happen in the US. This makes healthcare the second most attacked sector in the US, where it accounts for 9% of known attacks.<\/p>\n Sensitive information like the data kept by healthcare organizations obviously increases the amount of leverage for the ransomware group, and despite some gangs promising not to attack healthcare, most of them show no such conscience.<\/p>\n A separate data breach carried out by a ransomware group that Malwarebytes Labs learned about<\/a> this week was on the US Marshalls Service. Hunters International ransomware group posted 386 GB of data that appears to include files on gangs, documents from the FBI, specific case information, operational data, and more.<\/p>\n The US Marshalls Service said the data comes from a ransomware attack they acknowledged in February of 2023, but which had never been claimed before. Maybe the ransomware group was hesitant to paint a bullseye on their back.<\/p>\n So far, Malwarebytes Labs has not seen any official reaction by CODAC Behavioral Healthcare. If they come out with one or respond to our query, we will keep you posted.<\/p>\n Protecting yourself after a data breach<\/strong><\/p>\n There are some actions you can take if you are, or suspect you may have been, the victim of a data breach<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check your digital footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n If you want to find out what personal data of yours has been exposed online, you can use our free Digital Footprint scan<\/a>.
