Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) is Providing Notice

Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) is providing notice of a cybersecurity event. What Happened: On June 3, 2024, WMH detected a ransomware event on its network, whereby an unauthorized third party gained access to WMH's network, encrypted some of WMH's data, and left a ransom note on WMH's network. WMH engaged legal counsel and cybersecurity professionals to conduct a forensic investigation. WMH's investigation determined that the unauthorized actor had access to a limited number of WMH systems between May 30, 2024 and June 3, 2024. Upon learning this, WMH began a comprehensive review of those files to identify and notify any individuals whose personal information was contained in those files. On August 2, 2024, WMH posted a public notice of this Incident on its website and published a media notice with the Press Sentinel in Jesup, Georgia while WMH conducted its review. WMH recently completed its review and on August 27, 2025, WMH mailed notice letters to those individuals whose personal information may have been involved. What Information Was Involved: While the information involved varies for each individual, WMH's investigation determined that the unauthorized actor may have had access to the following categories of information: names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, state identification numbers, user ids and passwords, financial account numbers, credit or debit card numbers, credit card expiration dates or CVV codes, Medicare or Medicaid numbers, health insurance member numbers, healthcare provider numbers, diagnoses, medical histories, treatment information, prescription information, and lab test results. Again, the information involved varies for each individual, and not every category applies in each individual case. The notice letters that WMH mailed to affected individuals list the specific data elements that may have been involved for each individual. What We Are Doing: WMH moved quickly to investigate and secure its systems. Specifically, WMH added new intrusion detection and response tools, reset all passwords, and made additional enhancements to WMH's network security. WMH is also offering free credit monitoring and identity theft protection services to those individuals whose personal information was involved. The notice letters that WMH mailed include instructions on how to enroll in those services.
