Keck Medical Center of USC suffered a ransomware attack, two servers were hacked that contained internal documents.
The compromised information included demographic information, date of birth, health information including treatment and diagnosis, and in some cases, Social Security numbers. Other files in the encrypted folders contained medical record numbers, date of service, insurance information, and CPT codes, but no patient names.
Keck investigated the incident and restored the files within a few days and did not pay any ransom.
