On December 16, 2025, Hood River Dental, a private dental practice in Hood River, Oregon, appeared on the leak site of the safepay ransomware group. The attackers posted proof that they had exfiltrated internal files from the clinic’s systems during a ransomware incident. While the exact number of patients affected remains unknown, anyone who has received care at the practice since it opened could have personal information now in the hands of criminals.

What Public Reporting Shows
Public reporting indicates the dental practice’s website, hoodriverdentist.com, was listed on the safepay leak site hosted on the dark web. The group claims to have stolen internal files during a ransomware attack. No specific patient count has been released, and the precise data types remain unclear beyond the broad description of internal files. The listing appeared on December 16, 2025, following the group’s standard pattern of publishing victim data when ransom demands go unmet.
Why This Matters for You and Your Family
If you or your family members have ever been patients at Hood River Dental, your medical history, contact details, insurance information, Social Security numbers, or payment records may now be exposed. Dental records often contain dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, and email accounts—the exact pieces of information criminals need to open fraudulent accounts, file fake tax returns, or launch impersonation scams. Even if you were not directly notified, the lack of confirmed victim numbers means you cannot assume your information is safe. Families with children who have visited the clinic face additional risk because minors’ data combined with parental information creates long-term identity theft vulnerabilities that can follow a child into adulthood.
The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Implications
Medical and dental breaches rarely stop at one record. A single leaked email or phone number can be linked to gaming accounts, social media handles, and family addresses. Attackers use these connections to build detailed profiles for doxxing, harassment, or targeted phishing. Credential leaks of this kind frequently cascade into account takeovers, especially for gaming platforms popular with children and teenagers. Once an attacker controls a child’s gaming account tied to the same family email or address, they gain further personal details that can be sold or used in follow-on attacks. This identity-chain effect turns one clinic breach into a multiplying threat across every online account that reuses similar login details.
