DaVita ransomware attack leads to large-scale patient data leak
US dialysis services provider DaVita was hit by a ransomware attack on April 12, 2025, which affected some operations, though patient care continued. Interlock claimed to have stolen about 1.5TB of data and published it, and the company began reviewing the published material. The number of people affected was tallied at about 2.7 million in August, and later on August 25 it was reported that the leak of information on 2.4 million patients had been confirmed. The company disclosed additional costs of $13.5 million for recovery and patient care, and in 2026 agreed to a $15 million settlement in related litigation.
