Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing

This row is a claim by the ransomware group Karakurt 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.

Lifeline Vascular Access provides management services that streamline the delivery of patient care, bringing together all the pieces essential to the operation of an outpatient vascular center. Keeping a patient's personal information in secret is not very popular today. Lifeline thinks the same and has provided us with hundreds of their patients' medical records. Detailed information about the patients, their health, finance state and other info can be published soon and be accessible for everyone. Employees' data is not an exception. Doctors and other staff have lost their personal information thanks to Lifeline Vascular management. Be in touch!
