North Shore Pain Management

North Shore Pain Management, also known as NSPM, is a pain management practice headquartered in the United States, with its operations based in Massachusetts. The organization provides medical services focused on the assessment and treatment of pain conditions for patients. As a healthcare provider, it collects and maintains personal health information as part of its routine clinical workflow. The practice serves individuals seeking relief from chronic pain conditions within the Massachusetts region.

On May 13, 2020, the AKO ransomware group targeted NSPM with a double extortion attack. The attackers exfiltrated over four gigabytes of unencrypted protected health information, including patient names, diagnoses, Social Security numbers, insurance details, billing records, and financial documents such as checks and bank account information. The stolen data, primarily in PDF and scanned document formats, was later leaked on the attackers’ Tor site to pressure the organization into paying a $350,000 ransom for data deletion.

At the time of public reporting, NSPM had not confirmed awareness of the breach or disclosed the incident publicly. This situation likely triggered internal regulatory notifications due to the exposure of sensitive patient and employee data. No further details about the organization's size, ownership structure, or additional services are available in the provided sources.
