Ampath says no evidence test results were stolen in cyberattack

South African pathology group Ampath said the 80 million figure in its 2 October cyberattack refers to database entries, not individual patients. The company says there is no evidence that medical records, diagnoses or pathology test results were compromised; names, ID numbers, addresses and payment data may have been exposed.

• Attack occurred on 2 October; attacker calls itself ByteToBreach
• 80 million refers to database records, not 80 million patients, Ampath says
• Names, ID numbers, birth dates, addresses and payment data may have leaked
• Ampath denies compromise of diagnoses, test results or banking data
