Viamedis, a French healthcare services provider, suffered a cyberattack that exposed the private data of policyholders and medical professionals in the country.
Though the company’s website is currently not accessible, an announcement concerning the data breach has been posted on LinkedIn.
The data revealed in the hack includes a beneficiary’s marital status, date of birth, social security number, health insurer’s name, and guarantees that can be paid by third parties.
The firm has clarified that the compromised systems did not contain people’s banking details, postal addresses, phone numbers, or emails.
Viamedis states that different alerts on the data that was exposed will be sent to healthcare professionals.
In light of this, Viamedis has contacted the relevant authorities (CNIL, ANSSI), impacted health organisations, and the public prosecutor via complaint. The business is still looking into the implications of the breach.
