Hacker attack on the Urological Clinic Munich Planegg

Posted on February 15, 2021 by Dissent

Martin Bernstein reports (translation):

The Urological Clinic Munich Planegg(UKMP) and its patients recently fell victim to a hacker attack. This emerges from an information letter that the clinic sent out to patients in early February. It is obliged to do so according to the General Data Protection Regulation. The cyber attack occurred in mid-January. The clinic management did not respond to a request from the  Süddeutsche Zeitung  until the weekend. However, the public prosecutor’s office in Bamberg confirmed the attack.

Read more on Süddeutsche Zeitung. And yes, this was a ransomware attack, but they don’t report who the threat actors are nor the amount of any ransom demand.
