Astrana latest healthcare tech firm to report data breach to SEC
The healthcare company Astrana warned regulators this week that a recent cyberattack exposed confidential information.
The company filed a report with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday evening about a recent incident in which hackers impersonated Astrana personnel and spoofed the company’s main corporate telephone number.
The hackers contacted employees using the spoofed number and eventually were able to gain access to company servers.
“Based on the current status of the Company’s ongoing investigation, the Company believes that certain private and/or confidential information maintained on the Company’s servers has been accessed and/or acquired without authorization,” Astrana said.
The company did not respond to requests for comment about whether the incident involved ransomware. The report notes that, among several measures taken, the company had to restore “certain systems from clean backups.”
