— Now we are waiting for information from the company about how serious it is, says Jörgen Rolf, head of Region Kalmar County Aids Section, to The barometer.
The region writes in one press release that a notification was made to the Privacy Protection Authority after an IT attack against the German parent company of one of the region’s suppliers. It cannot be ruled out that personal data about the region’s patients has been disseminated.
It is about the company Medi, which manufactures compression aids such as support stockings. Several Swedish regions are customers of the company.
“We don’t know for sure if something was stolen, but it can’t be ruled out either,” says Alexander Schulat, CEO of Medi Sweden, to SVT.
