Thousands of patient records exposed after ransomware attack on CaptureRx

Healthcare administrative-service provider CaptureRx has suffered a ransomware attack resulting in the exposure of patient information from multiple provider systems. Tens of thousands of patients from at least five health systems had their data stolen, including names, dates of birth, and prescription information.
