Cyberattack at Hong Kong healthcare group may have exposed 100,000 patients’ data
Cyberattack took place within OT&P Healthcare’s management and operating system, according to group CEO Robin Green.
The personal data and medical history of about 100,000 patients at a Hong Kong healthcare group could have been leaked due to a cyberattack last Thursday, the operator has confirmed with the Post.
OT&P Healthcare CEO Robin Green on Monday said the cyberattack took place within the clinic’s management and operating system. “That system holds both patient identity and medical records. We have no idea … how much data was taken,” he said.
The group’s internal IT department noticed significant “system instability” on Thursday afternoon and called in a third-party experts to assess the situation, who advised that the system be taken offline immediately.
