CaptureRx Data Breach Impacts Healthcare Providers
At least three American healthcare providers have suffered a data breach after a cyber-attack on an administrative services company in Texas.
CaptureRx, which is based in San Antonio, fell victim to a ransomware attack on February 6. On February 19, an investigation into the attack determined that certain files had been accessed without authorization.
During the attack, cyber-criminals exfiltrated files containing the personal health information (PHI) of more than 24,000 individuals.
CaptureRx serves the Mohawk Valley Health System affiliate Faxton St. Luke’s Healthcare in New York, Thrifty Drug Stores (Thrifty White), and Gifford Health Care of Randolph, Vermont, among others.
