www.indigoent.ca Listed by qiulong Ransomware Group

On May 30, 2024, Canadian healthcare provider Indigo ENT Group was listed on the leak site of the qiulong ransomware group. The operators claim they spent recent weeks inside the company’s network, exfiltrating thousands of patient records containing personal, confidential, PHI and PII data. The listing marks the first public warning to the Coquitlam, British Columbia-based ear, nose and throat practice, whose patients now face the direct risk that their medical and personal information has been stolen and may be published or sold.

Reported Details from the Leak Site

The qiulong leak page states that its operators gained access to Indigo ENT’s systems and removed large volumes of internal files. It explicitly lists patient PHI and PII among the stolen material but does not publish the total number of affected individuals or name every file type taken. The disclosure identifies the company’s headquarters in Coquitlam and provides contact details that match public business records. No ransom amount or payment deadline appears in the initial listing, which simply labels the post as the first warning. The incident is classified as a ransomware attack followed by data exfiltration, consistent with the group’s standard double-extortion approach.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If you or a family member have been treated by Dr. Dewji, Dr. Gooi, Dr. Mah or any other clinician at Indigo ENT, your medical history, contact information, and government identifiers may now sit in attackers’ hands. Healthcare data is especially damaging because it combines sensitive diagnoses with financial and personal details that can be used for insurance fraud, identity theft, or targeted phishing. Even when the exact number of records remains unknown, the exposure of PHI creates long-term risk for every patient whose file was stored on the compromised systems.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen healthcare records rarely stay isolated. Threat actors routinely cross-reference patient names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses with other breached datasets. This creates an identity chain that can link your doctor’s notes to gaming accounts, social-media handles, or family-member profiles. Children’s records are particularly vulnerable because parents often reuse credentials across personal and family services. A single leaked email or phone number can cascade into account takeovers that expose private messages, location history, or financial logins. The longer these connections remain unmapped, the higher the chance that opportunistic criminals or extortionists will locate and target you or your children.

qiulong Ransomware Group Track Record

Public reporting attributes the qiulong name to a ransomware operation that emerged in late 2023. The group has claimed responsibility for attacks on healthcare providers, professional services firms, and small-to-medium businesses across North America and Europe. Its typical playbook begins with initial access gained through compromised credentials or unpatched remote desktop services, followed by lateral movement, data exfiltration, and then dual extortion: demanding payment to prevent publication and offering a separate decryption key. The May 30 listing of Indigo ENT fits this pattern, showing the group’s continued focus on healthcare organizations whose patients hold valuable personal and medical data.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, handles, and real identity so you can see exactly what chains back to the Indigo ENT breach.
• Rotate any password you used at Indigo ENT or related healthcare portals anywhere it has been reused, and immediately 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 on within hours.
• Cover the entire household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which frequently become targets when parent credentials are leaked.
• Let DoxxScan remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any exposed personal records appearing on data-broker or extortion sites.

The breach of Indigo ENT Group is a clear reminder that healthcare providers remain high-value targets and that patient data can surface on leak sites with little warning. Taking concrete steps now limits how far attackers can travel down the identity chain that begins with your medical file. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping, and hands-on remediation by specialists, with household coverage that includes children’s gaming accounts vulnerable to credential-based takeovers.
