LockBit shows no remorse for ransomware attack on children’s hospital

LockBit claimed responsibility for a ransomware attack on Chicago’s Saint Anthony Hospital, demanding $800,000 by 01:41 UTC on Feb 2 with $1,000 payments extending the timer, and pricing the stolen data for destruction or sale. The hospital confirmed files containing patient information were copied by an unknown attacker but said no medical or financial records were accessed and has not stated whether it will pay ([The Register](https://www.theregister.com/2024/02/01/lockbit_ransomware_attack_hospital/), [hospital notice](https://sahchicago.org/images/cybersecurity/Saint-Anthony-HIPAA-Notification_website_English_2024Jan29.pdf)).
