In a recent cyber attack on medical facilities in Thailand, only 10,095 patients’ records were leaked, not 16 million, as the hacker claimed, and the leaked data only contains the patients’ names, the names of their doctors and appointment details, not medical details, according to the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES).

 

Based on the investigation of Phetchabun Hospital’s system, from where information was hacked, the hospital has fixed the problem and cut internet access from outside, said DES Minister Chaiwut Thanakamanusorn in a press conference today (Wednesday).

 

The ministry also found that there wasn’t any damage to the system used to process patients. The hospital’s system backs up data every 30 minutes.

This'll slow the hackers down.

One hack is too many. Over 10,000, that is unforgivable.

 

If over 10,000 is unforgivable, what about these?
Here is only a very small sampling of major data breaches. Companies that probably spend in the 10s of millions of dollars on security can't protect your data:


Yahoo!

    Announced: September and December 2016
    
River City Media

    Number of records hacked: 1.37 billion
    Announced: March 2017

Veeam

    Number of records hacked: 445 million
    Announced: September 2018

Marriott (Starwood)

    Number of records hacked: 383 million
    Announced: November 2018

Exactis
