CareCloud confirmed in a federal filing that hackers stole personal information and medical records affecting more than 3.75 million people.

The New Jersey health-data company said attackers accessed medical data held in one of its cloud-storage environments for six days during a March breach, then exfiltrated data from its Amazon Web Services account. The stolen information includes health data, Social Security numbers, government identification numbers and banking information.

The reported victim total was revised upward, and the source says it remains unclear whether it will rise further.
