A healthcare system with services in 17 Pennsylvania counties says a ransomware incident last year allowed unknown actors to access sensitive patient information such as Social Security numbers, medical records, and health insurance information.

Wilkes-Barre-based Maternal and Family Health Services Inc. (MFHS) discovered the breach on April 4, 2022.
