Oregan Health Plan has announced that 1.7 million Medicaid patients have had their data stolen by the Clop threat group as part of the MOVEit Transfer and MOVEit Cloud hack.

The big picture: Clop appears to be gearing up to sell stolen data if ransoms are not paid, but many organizations have been advised against paying, which is believed to encourage future attacks.
