The data appeared online around noon on Sunday.
Nearly a million medical files from the Armentières hospital (North) are now in the wild after the cyberattack the establishment suffered on the weekend of February 11, according to ethical hacker SaxX.
Once suspected, Lockbit's cybercriminals were allegedly cheated by a new group, Blackout.
This would have used the methods and software of the famous pirate network dismantled last week.
According to the files that we were able to consult on the TOR site on the darknet, 961,792 patient files would be affected by this leak of personal data such as the address, but also the treating doctor or the patient's reception service.
Some archives date back more than fifteen years and in different formats, such as Word documents or radiology images.
So many elements that the hospital center does not confirm at this stage.
In its latest press release, published this Monday at the end of the day, it simply indicates that “the files are still being downloaded and qualified by our experts, in order to define their nature and quantity”.
