Fresenius Medical Care AG & Co. said Thursday that patient
data from some of its dialysis centers in Serbia has been illegally
published following a recent hacker attack.
"The company's understanding is that this is associated with the
IT incident which affected parts of Fresenius's IT environment a
few weeks ago and that hackers were able to steal certain data,"
the German provider of health products and services said, adding
the investigation is continuing.
The company also said it has filed a complaint against the
unknown attackers with the public prosecutor in Germany and will
cooperate with relevant authorities.
Operations in Serbia will continue and specialists are currently
working to prevent further attacks or unauthorized data access,
according to Fresenius Medical Care.
