Overview
A previously disclosed healthcare cyberattack is being quantified in new reporting: Covenant Health, described as a Catholic healthcare organization, is now linked to a breach affecting more than 478,000 people. Both reports tie the incident to the Qilin ransomware group and frame it as a data-theft event from last year, with SecurityWeek specifying the intrusion and theft occurred in May 2025.
