Full breach record for Healthcare Retroactive Audits →Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
This row is a claim by the ransomware group DragonForce on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

Post text · scraped from the leak site
22 171 128 medical record files, neatly packaged into 11 archives by hospital. The firm Healthcare Retroactive Audits, which was auditing the data for insurers, not only let the leak happen but also took no steps to stop the files from being published. When we approached NIH Information Security Program to discuss the issue, they said they weren’t interested in resolving it. We’re now open to talks with the affected organizations, insurers and the hospitals whose data were lost. These files are only a portion of the total breach, and we’re deciding whether to keep the release at this size or expand it.

Attacker assertion only. Establishes: claim date, group, alleged victim.
Unlocks: incident narrative, operational impact. Still no compliance clock.
Unlocks: discovery date, data types, affected count, compliance clock.
Unlocks: materiality, stated response, full audit trail. Ceiling removed.
No regulatory filing corroborates this yet — it is the attacker's own assertion. Watch this entity to be notified the moment a filing corroborates or contradicts it.
