On May 20, 2025, Kettering Health, a major healthcare provider in Ohio, experienced a devastating ransomware attack that disrupted operations across 14 hospitals and 120+ outpatient facilities. The attackers, known as the Interlock ransomware group, stole and leaked nearly 1 terabyte of sensitive data, including patient records, payroll files, and even police security documents.
This incident is a powerful reminder: cybersecurity is no longer optional—it’s essential.
Why This Matters to You
Whether you’re in healthcare, finance, legal, or any other data-sensitive industry, the Kettering Health breach highlights the real-world risks of cyberattacks:
- Operational Disruption: Kettering’s systems were offline for nearly two weeks. Imagine your business without access to records, communications, or billing systems.
- Data Exposure: Over 700,000 files were leaked, including personal IDs, medical records, and financial documents.
