In mid-August 2026, reports surfaced of a possible cyberattack on Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital, a Kentucky-based veterinary practice. The Storm ransomware group allegedly listed the organization on a leak site around August 14, 2026, claiming responsibility for an August 11, 2026 attack on its systems. The hospital has not publicly confirmed the incident.
The alleged breach may have involved client contact details, horse patient records, billing information, and a password field. Social Security numbers are not indicated. Medical data, due to patient records, and financial data, due to billing information, are plausibly involved. The exact types of personal information affected and the number of individuals remain unknown.
No confirmed state Attorney General filings, official breach notification letters, or public confirmation statements from Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital have been identified. Details about the incident, including confirmed scope and affected individuals, may emerge later.
