Memorial Hospital and Manor notifies 120,085 people of November ransomware attack

A ransomware attack on Memorial Hospital & Manor, discovered November 2, 2024, led to the exfiltration and public leak of 1.15 TB of patient data by the Embargo group after failed negotiations. The hospital later disclosed to the Maine Attorney General that 120,085 individuals were affected, with exposed PHI including names, SSNs, DOBs, insurance, and treatment information. Despite FBI notification and a substitute notice, the report highlights the absence of an HHS breach posting and the lack of explicit acknowledgement of the ransomware and data leak in the hospital’s public communications.
