After the massive ransomware attack has crippled the nation's premier healthcare institution for days, a new case of a cyber attack has emerged on Tamil Nadu-based multispecialty hospital, Sree Saran Medical Center, as hackers are currently selling at least 1.5 lakh patients' data records for hundreds of dollars on the Dark Web, revealed cyber-security researchers.
The stolen database is advertised for $100, meaning that multiple copies of the database would be sold. For actors seeking to be the exclusive owner of the database, the price is raised to $300, and if the owner intends to resell the database, the quoted price is $400.
