Delaware Guidance Services for Children and Youth, Inc.

Delaware Guidance Services for Children and Youth, Inc. became the victim of a ransomware attack that had locked up the patient records.

Those records contained personal information, such as name, address, birth date, social security number, and medical information.

To secure release of the records, DGS was required to pay a “ransom,” in exchange for a de-encryption “key” that unlocked the records.

Subsequent investigation did not provide any indication that records had been accessed, corrupted, or exfiltrated, but DGS decided to notify everyone and to offer them credit monitoring services and other supports.
