Faben Obstetrics and Gynecology

Faben Obstetrics and Gynecology is an obstetrics and gynecology practice providing medical care related to pregnancy and women's reproductive health. The organization operates as a Florida-based healthcare provider, with its headquarters located in the United States of America. Its core focus is on delivering obstetric and gynecologic services to patients in the local community. As a medical provider, it is subject to federal health privacy regulations governing protected health information. The practice serves individuals seeking care for obstetric and gynecologic health needs. These services constitute the primary scope of its clinical operations.

In November 2018, the practice experienced a ransomware attack involving the GandCrab malware variant. The incident led to rapid detection and mitigation efforts, which included deleting infected files and attempting to restore data from backups. Not all files were recoverable due to incomplete backups, particularly affecting manually scanned patient documents such as lab reports. The breach resulted in unauthorized access to protected health information of patients. Consequently, the organization notified more than 6,000 affected individuals and reported the incident to federal health authorities. The ransomware attack occurred at the organization's Florida location.
