"400,000 Impacted by CentroMed Data Breach"

San Antonio-based healthcare provider El Centro Del Barrio (which operates as CentroMed) recently started informing 400,000 patients that their personal and protected health information was compromised in a recent cyberattack. The company discovered the data breach on May 1, 2024, after a threat actor gained access to the organization’s network on April 30. During the investigation, it was discovered that the unauthorized party accessed and/or acquired files containing information about CentroMed’s current and former patients. The potentially exposed information included names, addresses, dates of birth, medical and health information, insurance information, Social Security numbers, financial account information, and medical claims data. This is the second hacking incident that CentroMed has suffered over the past year after falling victim to the Karakurt extortion group in June 2023. The data breach, disclosed in August 2023, compromised the personal information of 350,000 patients, employees, employee spouses, partners, and dependents.
