A serious data breach incident may have recently affected the Hong Ngoc Hospital, a renowned hospital located in Vietnam. The news was disseminated through the BreachForums, a platform known for the buying and selling of compromised data. The volume and sensitivity of the compromised information make this incident particularly alarming.
Hong Ngoc General Hospital was founded in 2003, when private hospitals were not yet widespread in Vietnam. With continuous effort, Hong Ngoc earned its reputation as the first hospital-hotel in Hanoi and northern Vietnam. To date, after 17 years of foundation and development, Hong Ngoc has become a household name and a trusted medical address for millions of patients.
