Hospital technology giant NextGen Healthcare said it is responding to a cyberattack after a notorious ransomware group added the company to its list of victims.
The multibillion-dollar healthcare giant produces electronic health record (EHR) software and practice management systems for hundreds of the biggest hospitals and clinics in the U.S., U.K., India and Canada.
On Tuesday, hackers associated with the AlphV/BlackCat ransomware added the company to its list of victims alongside several other businesses.
A spokesperson for NextGen Healthcare said it is aware of the claim and explained that they have been working with cybersecurity experts to “investigate and remediate” the issue.
“We immediately contained the threat, secured our network, and have returned to normal operations,” the spokesperson said. “Our forensic review is ongoing, and to date, we have not uncovered any evidence of access to or exfiltration of client data. The privacy and security of our client information is of the utmost importance to us.”
