Cell medical care agency DocGo confirmed it suffered a cyberattack after menace actors breached its programs and stole affected person well being knowledge.
DocGo is a healthcare supplier that gives cellular well being providers, ambulance providers, and distant monitoring for sufferers in thirty US states and throughout the UK.
In a Tuesday night FORM 8-Ok submitting filed with the SEC, DocGo warned that they lately suffered a cyberattack and are working with third-party cybersecurity consultants to help within the investigation.
“Promptly after detecting unauthorized exercise, the Firm took steps to include and reply to the incident, together with launching an investigation, with help from main third-party cybersecurity consultants, and notifying related legislation enforcement,” reads the DocGo SEC submitting.
Whereas the Firm didn’t share how they responded to the incident, organizations generally shut down their IT programs after detecting a breach to forestall the unfold of the assault.
As a part of DocGo’s investigation, it was decided that the hackers stole protected well being info from a “restricted variety of healthcare data” for the Firm’s US-based ambulance transportation enterprise.
DocGo is actively reaching out to people whose knowledge was compromised within the assault.
The Firm stresses that no different enterprise models have been affected and that they’ve discovered no proof of continued unauthorized entry.
