“This past summer’s cyber attack on (New York state’s) Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center in Ogdensburg and Carthage Area Hospital consumes CEO Rich Duvall’s day-to-day job…Not paying the ransom, dealing with the hack almost daily with rebuilding a system, paying lawyers, and working with the IT team and consultants has to be costly,” this article reports.
The CEO reports most of his hospital’s expenses have been covered by cyber insurance. Now, he’s determined where much of the stolen data resides — in the cloud operated by a Boston company. According to the report, the storage company is an innocent party whose system was presumably used without its knowledge to store the purloined hospital data (and potentially data stolen from other enterprises).
The hospital is suing the storage company to recover its data. Cyber Insurance News assumes the lawsuit will allow the storage company to release data legally.
