A cancer patient whose nude treatment photos and medical records were posted online after they were stolen in a ransomware attack, has sued the health-care provider for allowing a "preventable" and "seriously damaging" invident.The proposed class-action lawsuit stems from a February intrusion during which ransomware gang BlackCat (also known as ALPHV) broke into one of the Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN) physician's networks, stole images of patients undergoing radiation oncology treatment along with other sensitive health records belonging to more than 75,000 people, and then demanded a ransom payment to decrypt the files and prevent it from posting the health data online.
