DaVita suffers ransomware attack, compromising 2.7 million patient records:
Published on 23 Aug 2025
Healthcare firm DaVita has confirmed a major cyberattack that exposed sensitive data of 2.7 million patients after hackers infiltrated its laboratory databases. While care at nearly 3,000 clinics and home-care programs continued, operations faced temporary disruptions. The attack resulted in a financial impact of $13.5 million in Q2, covering remediation costs and patient care expenses. Investor sentiment worsened as Berkshire Hathaway had reduced its stake in the company last month, further pushing retail outlook into bearish territory.
