PEACHTREE NEUROLOGICAL CLINIC, PC

A ransomware virus compromised the computer system of Peachtree Neurological Clinic in July 2017.

Compromised with the PNC's electronic medical records (EMR) system, which contains data on patients such as names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, dates of birth, and license numbers, as well as details about their medical history, procedures, prescriptions, and/or insurance coverage.

The ransomware demanded monetary payment from PNC in order to decrypt the files and allow them to regain access.

PNC did not pay the ransom to the attackers but was instead able to restore its files and the functionality of its system through backup records.

PNC notified all potentially affected individuals about this issue and offered them free identity theft protection services.

It also has reported the incident to law enforcement and will cooperate with any investigation.
