So far, the press release doesn't say about locked files, stolen data, or data loss. I think it's not that bad, and it's strange to capture all that data without someone noticing. The alleged group didn't put a wallet address or showed interesting of selling all the stuff, really strange, and people are saying this "hack" was not a real threat.
All data copied and deleted in ransomware attack. The ConnectSUS database has all the information, health history, and much more sensitivity data, documents numbers, profile pictures, vaccine records, and more.
