What Happened?
Raleigh Family Medicine was listed in a ransomware leak-site allegation reported by Ransomware.live on October 2nd, 2026. The claim attributes the alleged attack to a group called Booba Project and asserts that approximately 1 GB of data described as “Hospitals and Health Care” data was stolen. These are attacker-side claims only. As of October 2nd, 2026, no confirmation from Raleigh Family Practice, no HHS Office for Civil Rights breach portal filing, no state attorney general filing, and no independent news reporting corroborating this incident have been found. No specific data types — such as protected health information, Social Security numbers, or financial records — have been identified as part of this alleged incident.
Booba Project is a financially motivated ransomware group that emerged in late June or early July 2026, according to multiple threat intelligence sources. The group employs a double-extortion model, meaning it claims to exfiltrate data before encrypting systems and then uses the threat of publishing stolen data on a dark-web leak site to pressure victims into paying. Threat intelligence sources report approximately 18 to 36 claimed victims across several countries as of late September 2026, including U.S. healthcare providers. The group is characterized by threat intelligence sources as an early-stage operation with limited confirmed technical details and no established nation-state attribution. No independent source has corroborated the specific claim against Raleigh Family Medicine.

What Should You Do?
If you believe your information may have been involved, it is a good idea to take precautionary steps now even though this incident has not been confirmed. You can place a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — at no cost. Review your credit reports for unfamiliar accounts or activity at AnnualCreditReport.com. Monitor your financial accounts and any online accounts for suspicious activity. Because this is a healthcare provider, you should also review any Explanation of Benefits statements from your insurer and check your medical records for services you did not receive, as these can be signs that health information has been misused. If you spot signs of identity theft or fraud, report them at IdentityTheft.gov.
