Sensitive patient information from the Chinese General Hospital and Medical Center was reportedly exposed in a recent data breach, as reported by the tech watchdog Deep Web Konek. The breach was announced on a dark web forum by a user identified as “mapadedsec.” The hospital’s database was compromised, leading to concerns about the security of patient data.
According to the report, the breach was allegedly carried out by a cybercriminal group. They claimed their actions were not state-sponsored but rather a form of digital mischief. The hackers’ motives and affiliations remain unclear, but their activities have raised significant alarm.
Deep Web Konek has urged the Chinese General Hospital to conduct a thorough investigation into the breach. They recommend that the hospital inform the public if the breach is verified and take steps to secure the system against further attacks.
The Chinese General Hospital is managed by the Philippine Chinese Charitable Association Inc. The situation underscores the need for enhanced cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive medical data from future breaches.
