A health care company with several locations throughout Monroe County was the target of a sophisticated cyber attack and is advising those potentially impacted to monitor their financial credit data.
Earlier this month, Family Medical Center of Michigan contacted its customers to advise them of a data breach that occurred July 2020. A group of hackers based in Ukraine targeted the company in a ransomware attack, taking control of the company’s financial files and encrypting them so employees would be unable to access patients’ financial information.
The hackers demanded FMC officials pay a sum of $30,000 to unlock those files.
