Florida health department data captured in cyberattack, hackers claim

The RansomHub ransomware group claims to have accessed sensitive data from the Florida Department of Health and is threatening to release it unless a ransom is paid. The department holds significant personal data, including COVID-19 vaccine records. The breach has affected the ability to issue birth and death certificates. The nature of the stolen data remains unclear, but the state’s policy is not to pay ransoms. The department is investigating with law enforcement.
