Pound Road Medical Centre Listed by anubis Ransomware Group

Pound Road Medical Centre was listed on the Anubis ransomware group’s leak site on November 13, 2024. The Australian medical practice is the latest healthcare provider targeted in a ransomware attack that resulted in the exfiltration of internal files containing sensitive patient information, including AU Passports, dates of birth, and medical records. Anyone who has attended the centre may now have their personal and health data exposed.

Reported Details from the Listing

The Anubis leak site states that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack on Pound Road Medical Centre. The disclosure indicates that the data includes AU Passports, DOB, and medical records. The listing does not quantify how many patients or records are affected, nor does it specify the exact volume or types of additional documents taken. As is typical with these sites, the group has published a sample of the allegedly stolen material and set a deadline for payment before further data is released. The primary disclosure source remains the Anubis onion site, mirrored on ransomware tracking platforms such as ransomware.live.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Medical records and passport details are among the most sensitive categories of personal information. When combined, they allow criminals to build detailed profiles that can be used for identity theft, insurance fraud, or targeted phishing. If you or any member of your family has been a patient at Pound Road Medical Centre, your full name, date of birth, passport number, and complete medical history may now be in the hands of extortionists. Health data is particularly damaging because it can reveal conditions, treatments, or prescriptions that people prefer to keep private. The breach affects not only the patient but potentially every household member whose details appear in shared records.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Once passport numbers and dates of birth are public, attackers can link them to email addresses, phone numbers, and online accounts found in other breaches. This creates an identity chain that leads to doxxing, account takeovers, and even physical stalking. Credential leaks of this nature frequently cascade into gaming platforms, where children’s accounts become entry points for further harassment or social engineering. The combination of government-issued identifiers with intimate medical details gives criminals powerful leverage for extortion or impersonation that can last for years.

Anubis Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Anubis ransomware group with emerging in early 2024 and rapidly building a reputation for targeting small-to-medium businesses, including healthcare providers. The group typically gains initial access through phishing emails or exploited remote desktop services, exfiltrates data before deploying encryption, and then runs a double-extortion campaign by threatening to publish sensitive files on their leak site. Notable prior victims include other medical practices and service companies where patient or customer records may have been exposed. Their playbook relies on short deadlines and public shaming to pressure victims into payment, though many organisations ultimately refuse to pay.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, including any connections created by the Pound Road Medical Centre breach.
• Rotate passwords used at the medical centre or any related healthcare portals anywhere they have been reused, and enable 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure of your data is caught and acted upon quickly.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address and identity details.
• Let the remediation specialists handle takedown requests and broker removals for you while you focus on securing accounts and monitoring for suspicious activity.
