ESO Solutions, a key software provider for healthcare and emergency services, was the victim of a ransomware attack.
This cyberattack led to unauthorized data access and encryption of various company systems.
The breach exposed a variety of personal information, depending on what patients had shared with their healthcare providers using ESO’s software. Compromised data includes: Full names Birth dates Phone numbers Patient account and medical record numbers Injury, diagnosis, treatment, and procedure details Social Security Numbers.
It was confirmed that this breach affected data belonging to patients associated with ESO’s client hospitals and clinics in the U.S.
To help mitigate risks, ESO is offering a year of identity monitoring services through Kroll to all notified individuals.
