Ameos Confirms Data Access in July Cyberattack, Opens Verified Inquiry Portal

Investigators are still determining the breach's scope across two countries.

Overview

  • Ameos says facilities in Germany and Austria are within the review for possible exposure of personal data.
  • Patients, care recipients, and employees can submit an identity-verified request via the new online form to learn what data, if any, were accessed.
  • The company cannot yet quantify how many people are affected, with each case being checked individually before disclosures are issued.
  • The July intrusion prompted a precautionary shutdown that disrupted diagnostics and IT services, though patient care remained secured.
  • Ameos is working with forensic specialists, state data-protection authorities, and the Saxony-Anhalt state police, and it warns of potential phishing or fraud using stolen contact details.
