Total Patient Care LLC;A Sensitive Touch Home Health;Alphastar Home Health Care;Heart of T Listed by Everest Ransomware Group

On December 17, 2024, the Everest ransomware group listed four connected home-healthcare providers on its leak site: Total Patient Care LLC, A Sensitive Touch Home Health, Alphastar Home Health Care, and Heart of Texas Home Healthcare Services Inc. The operators claim to have exfiltrated internal files during a ransomware attack and are now publishing samples as part of their extortion campaign. Anyone who received care or worked at these Texas-based agencies may have personal and medical information now at risk.

Reported Details from the Listing

The Everest leak-site entry states that the four organizations were compromised in a single incident and that internal files were exfiltrated. The disclosure does not quantify how many patient records or employee files were taken, nor does it list specific data types beyond the generic description of “internal files.” A download link on the onion site, mirrored publicly at gofile.io, contains sample archives the group says were taken from the victims’ networks. The listing gives no ransom deadline or payment demand in the public portion of the page.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

Home-healthcare agencies hold the same sensitive details hospitals do: names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, insurance information, and clinical notes about your or your family members’ medical conditions. When those records leave the premises, the exposure is permanent. Even if you were only a temporary patient or a former employee, your information can be sold, used for identity theft, or leveraged in follow-on scams that target you or your relatives for years.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Ransomware operators rarely stop at one leak. They frequently cross-reference stolen spreadsheets against other breach data to build full identity profiles. A phone number listed in a patient file can be tied to your email address from an earlier breach, your children’s usernames on gaming platforms, and your physical address. Once those links exist, targeted phishing, SIM-swapping, or even physical intimidation become realistic threats. Credential leaks like this one cascade into account takeovers that can compromise gaming accounts belonging to you or your children.

Everest Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the Everest group’s first major campaigns to mid-2023. The operators have since hit dozens of healthcare providers, schools, and small-to-medium businesses across the United States and Europe. Their typical playbook begins with phishing or exploitation of remote-desktop services for initial access, followed by rapid lateral movement, data exfiltration, and deployment of ransomware. They then wait a short period before publishing samples on their leak site if the victim does not pay. Everest is considered a mid-tier but persistent player that focuses on organizations likely to pay to protect patient data.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity so you can see exactly what chains back to these agencies.
• Rotate any password you ever used at Total Patient Care, A Sensitive Touch Home Health, Alphastar, or Heart of Texas anywhere it is reused, and switch to 2FA through an authenticator app instead of text messages.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure that touches you or your family is caught and acted on within hours.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family coverage that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts that often chain back to the same address or parent email.
• Let remediation specialists handle takedown requests across data brokers and extortion sites for you while you focus on securing day-to-day accounts.

The breach of these four home-healthcare providers is a reminder that medical providers of any size remain prime targets. Protecting yourself means assuming your information will appear in future leaks and taking concrete steps now rather than waiting for the next notification. Start your DoxxScan trial today; its continuous monitoring, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, hands-on remediation by specialists, and full household coverage give you and your family the clearest picture of exposure and the fastest path to remediation.
