ransomware

The double extortion of a Russian ransomware threatens the medical records that Diater has kept for 10 years.

Diater, a Spanish biopharmaceutical company founded in 1999, has been listed as a victim of the DeadLock ransomware group on the dark web. The attack compromised sensitive patient and healthcare professional records that the company had maintained for approximately a decade, exposing it to double extortion tactics common in modern ransomware campaigns.

Why it matters: Healthcare organizations and patient data custodians need to assess whether their records are among Diater's compromised data and prepare for potential ransom demands and regulatory notification obligations under healthcare privacy laws.
