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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
