On December 8, 2024, DataBreaches reported that Watsonville Community Hospital in California was continuing to respond to what they referred to as a cyberattack on November 29. No gang had claimed responsibility at that point, patients hadn't been notified yet, and the hospital wasn't stating whether the attack involved encryption of any files. Weeks later, and in a substitute notice posted on December 31, 2024, they noted that patients' name, date of birth, Social Security number, passport number, and diagnosis information may have been present in files that had been accessed in a "recent data security event" that was still under investigation. The hospital did not confirm or deny whether this was a ransomware attack.

Some of the produced output involved code for obfuscation, clipboard monitoring, and basic utilities to exfiltrate data using a Telegram bot. It's worth pointing out that none of these outputs are inherently malicious on their own.
