Epilepsy Foundation Hit by Ransomware Attack

The Epilepsy Foundation of Metropolitan New York (EFMNY) has been targeted in a ransomware attack, resulting in the exposure of sensitive patient data. As an organization dedicated to promoting awareness and providing support for individuals with epilepsy, this breach poses significant concerns for both the foundation and the affected individuals.

The attack on EFMNY’s network environment led to the encryption of certain systems, allowing unauthorized access to files within the network. This breach has potentially exposed a range of sensitive information, including dates of birth, Social Security numbers, account numbers, and medical records.

While the foundation’s electronic health record database remains unaffected, certain documents and folders within the compromised systems were accessed by the unauthorized party. Despite efforts to mitigate the impact of the attack, the foundation acknowledges that individual personal information may have been compromised.

In response to the incident, EFMNY has engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate the breach and assess the extent of the damage. Additionally, the foundation has undertaken a comprehensive review of the affected data to identify potential breaches of personal information.

As the investigation continues, the foundation remains committed to addressing the security vulnerabilities exposed by the attack and ensuring the protection of sensitive patient data. However, the implications of this breach extend beyond EFMNY, serving as a stark reminder of the persistent threats posed by ransomware attacks and the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding sensitive information.
