A major cybersecurity incident has reportedly struck Radin Health, a Wyoming-based medical technology company, potentially exposing sensitive medical records of approximately 80,000 patients across multiple healthcare facilities.

According to information provided by an anonymous whistleblower, the breach has impacted several prominent healthcare providers, including MD Sonography, Windsor Imaging, Manhattan MRI, Houston Premier Radiology, Extremity & Open MRI, and CMS Diagnostic Services.

The attack allegedly employed multiple cyber assault methods, including ransomware and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. These intrusions have reportedly forced Radin Health to disable its appointment booking software, which operates through the company's Radiology Information System (RIS).

The scope of compromised data potentially includes patients' health records and financial information, raising serious concerns about identity theft risks for affected individuals. The incident has also sparked broader discussions about the security of cloud-based medical systems.

Despite multiple attempts to obtain comment, Radin Health has remained silent on these allegations. The company has not confirmed the breach or provided details about any ongoing recovery efforts. The claims have not been independently verified at this time.

The reported breach highlights the mounting cybersecurity challenges faced by healthcare technology providers as they work to protect sensitive patient information in an increasingly digital healthcare landscape.

As this story develops, patients of the affected healthcare providers are advised to monitor their medical and financial records for any suspicious activity.
