AdaptHealth says attackers sweet-talked their way into cloud systems and stole patient data

AdaptHealth disclosed a data breach in which attackers used social engineering to gain access to internal systems and steal sensitive patient data, including insurance billing passwords. The attackers accessed patient management systems, document storage platforms, and external electronic health record systems. The company reported the incident to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Why it matters: Healthcare organizations and their vendors face persistent social engineering threats targeting cloud credentials; security teams should review access controls, authentication policies, and staff training to prevent similar credential compromise.
