Healthcare facilities operator Nutex says patient, employee data stolen in August incident
Cybercriminals breached company data and made an extortion attempt with it, Houston-based Nutex Health said in a filing with federal regulators.
Hackers stole patient and employee data from healthcare giant Nutex during a cyberattack announced last week, the company said in regulatory filings on Monday.
In an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Nutex said it is being extorted by cybercriminals who broke into the company’s servers and exfiltrated information related to patients, employees and external providers as well as confidential financial data.
“The third party has threatened to post such information externally,” Nutex said, adding that it is still investigating how much data was taken and what impact it will have on the company.
