Clinics subjected to cyberattacks come under investigation by data protection authorities concerning user complaints

In a shocking turn of events, Paul Bay, the CEO of Ingram, has confirmed a data loss incident that occurred during the transfer of test data to cloud services. The clinic group, whose identity has not been disclosed, is currently the focus of this data breach investigation.

The State Criminal Police Office of Saxony-Anhalt is leading the investigation into the cyberattack, working diligently to uncover the details surrounding the data breach. The clinic group, in a move towards transparency, has altered its approach on its website, pledging to proactively inform affected individuals about the data breach without being asked.

The clinic group has also consulted with the responsible data protection authority regarding the data breach. However, the name of the data protection officer coordinating the investigation into possible violations of the Ameos Health Group's data protection policy during the hacking attack remains undisclosed.

The investigation into the data breach is ongoing, and updates on the progress are expected to be released as more information becomes available. The clinic group urges affected individuals to remain vigilant and to take necessary precautions to protect their personal information.

As the investigation continues, the public is reminded of the importance of data security in the digital age. It is crucial for organisations to prioritise the protection of sensitive information and to have robust systems in place to prevent such incidents from occurring.
