A rough day at the extortion office and a botched attack on Blossom Health.

Blossom Health, a US telehealth and psychiatry platform, experienced a compromise involving either the platform itself or an individual provider account belonging to Justine Belesario. An extortionist used the access to send ransom demands to patients.

Why it matters: Patients at Blossom Health face potential unauthorized access to sensitive mental health information and extortion attempts; telehealth providers should assess their account security and breach notification obligations immediately.
