Russian hackers tied to a ransomware attack against the hospital revealed a plan to release the information, which includes 360 gigabytes of files, on Aug. 19. 

The information includes contracts, prescription scans, patient cards, financial information and Social Security numbers. 

Between May 20 and July 7, an unauthorized actor accessed systems, according to a notice from the hospital, and copied certain files.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
