DataBreaches.net reports that two entities have recently ceased operations following ransomware attacks. One was in the healthcare sector while the other was in the business sector:
It is still fairly rare for a ransomware victim to totally shutter its doors permanently as a result of an incident, but a relatively small breach in Georgia was reportedly fatal for Ascension Health Services LLC DBA Alpha Wellness and Alpha Medical Centre.
A notice on its website dated April 4, 2025 reads:
We are deeply saddened to share that Alpha Medical Centre has been the victim of a serious cybersecurity attack. As a result of this criminal act and its devastating impact, we have no choice but to close the practice. Our last day seeing patients will be Friday, April 18.
If you are an existing patient, you will soon receive an email and/or letter with more detailed information. You can also read our full legal announcement.
Thank you for allowing us to serve you and the Alpharetta community for the past 12+ years. We wish you all the best of health moving forward.
Dr. Singh and the Alpha Medical Centre Team
