In early August 2016, ransomware infected Desert Care Family and Sports Medicine's (DCFSM) network server in Arizona, encrypting all data including patient records. DCFSM engaged its IT provider and Data Doctors but could not break one of two encryption variants and was unable to recover patient data. Authorities (Casa Grande PD, FBI) were notified. DCFSM reported the breach as affecting over 500 individuals. Substitute and media notification was provided. In response, DCFSM added off-site backup, retrained staff, and obtained a new server. DCFSM closed December 20, 2016; submitted to HHS OCR on that date. Location: Network Server.
Affected (this filing): 500
