Lorenz ransomware gang hit Texas-based Cogdell Memorial Hospital

The Lorenz ransomware group has leaked data stolen from the Texas-based Cogdell Memorial Hospital, including internal files and patient medical images, wreaking havoc on hospital operations. This comes in the wake of multiple cyberattacks on US healthcare institutions, with 29 health systems already affected this year. Lorenz typically utilizes a double-extortion strategy, threatening to leak stolen data unless ransom demands, often reaching up to $700,000, are met.
