Hackers steal patient and billing data from German hospitals via third-party provider

Several German university hospitals disclosed a large-scale patient data breach after attackers breached Unimed, an external billing service provider used for patient billing. Affected hospitals include Cologne, Freiburg, Heidelberg, Tübingen, Ulm, and Mannheim; hospitals say clinical systems and patient treatment were not impacted, though the scale of stolen data varied by hospital.
