Edinburgh-based tech firm Craneware experienced a cyberattack resulting in the theft of customer data. The company’s software is used by thousands of U.S. healthcare providers for patient billing, raising concerns about potential exposure of sensitive health information.
Craneware announced that it had been targeted by hackers who successfully stole a “significant” amount of data. While the exact nature of the stolen data hasn't been fully disclosed, Craneware provides software solutions used extensively in U.S. hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics for managing patient billing processes.
The potential impact is substantial given the widespread use of Craneware’s services across the American healthcare system. The breach could expose sensitive patient health information, though the company has not yet detailed what specific data was compromised.
Craneware is currently investigating the incident and working to understand the full scope of the data theft. Further details are expected as the investigation progresses.
