Description

Sincera (formerly Abington Reproductive Medicine) appeared on Maze ransomware group's leak site at an unspecified time prior to the article's publication. The proof files Maze posted were unrelated to a medical practice, raising questions about the legitimacy of the listing. The entity did not respond to initial inquiries from DataBreaches.net regarding the incident. The listing occurred during the period when Maze was actively naming victims and dumping data on its leak site. No further details about the alleged attack or data exfiltration were provided by Maze in the proof material.

Following the rename to Sincera, DataBreaches.net sent two additional email inquiries seeking comment on the alleged ransomware event and any patient notifications. Both inquiries went unanswered, yielding no reply from the organization. As a result, no public notice was posted on Sincera's website concerning a possible data breach. No press release or media statement referencing the incident was located in publicly available sources. A search of the HHS public breach tool revealed no entry attributable to Sincera for the timeframe covered by the report. Consequently, no patient or regulator notifications were observed for this incident. The lack of observable response aligns with the pattern noted for the majority of Maze‑listed healthcare entities in the report. The article notes that only four of the ten Maze‑listed healthcare entities had issued any notifications or statements. Sincera was not among those four entities that demonstrated observable outreach to affected individuals or authorities. Thus, the available evidence indicates that Sincera did not provide public or regulatory notice of the alleged ransomware incident.
