"The FBI Anchorage Field Office is aware of the alleged data breach affecting the Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center and takes allegations of this nature seriously,"
"As a matter of longstanding policy, the FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence, or otherwise provide status updates of an investigation, unless if, and until charges are filed."
"As a general matter, the FBI considers the facts to determine if there is the possibility of a federal criminal violation, and proceed as appropriate, whether by investigating or referring the matter to the relevant partners,"
An anonymous hacker group claimed to have leaked 50,000 Anchorage Neighborhood Health Center patient records. The FBI Anchorage Field Office confirmed awareness of the alleged breach and stated it cannot confirm or deny investigations unless charges are filed. The FBI will assess whether a federal criminal violation may have occurred and will investigate or refer the matter to relevant partners as appropriate. The claimed leak has not appeared on ransomware group darkweb leak sites. One affected patient reported receiving an email from hackers that included personal information, suggesting direct contact possibly intended for extortion or to pressure the clinic. The motive for contacting patients directly remains unclear.
