Empress EMS employs over 200 individuals. Empress EMS disclosed in a data breach notice posted to its website that on July 14, 2022, it detected a ransomware attack that resulted in the encryption of some of its systems.
The subsequent investigation revealed that the attackers gained access to the organization’s network in late May and stole patient information before deploying ransomware on the compromised systems.
