Minidoka Memorial Hospital Recovering from Easter Cyberattack
Minidoka Memorial Hospital was the victim of a cyberattack on Easter morning, and two further healthcare providers have confirmed they have been affected by the data breach at business associate Doctor Alliance: A Path of Care Home Health and Hospice and Team Select Holdings.
Minidoka Memorial Hospital, Idaho
Minidoka Memorial Hospital in Rupert, Idaho, has confirmed media reports of a cybersecurity incident. On April 17, 2026, Minidoka Memorial Hospital issued a statement on its Facebook page confirming that it experienced a cyber incident on Easter morning that temporarily impacted some of its computer systems.
While the incident did not prevent the hospital from providing care to patients, certain emergency patients were transferred to Intermountain Health Cassia Regional Hospital due to the inability to access certain medical imaging systems. Full access to those systems was restored on April 19, 2026. Minidoka Memorial Hospital said it was not necessary to postpone scheduled appointments, and patients with new health concerns continued to be treated, with the hospital operating under established downtime procedures until such time as systems are restored.
The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and the extent of unauthorized access to patient data has yet to be determined. According to Databreaches.net, a new threat group called Blackwater has claimed responsibility for the attack and has threatened to release the stolen data on April 24, 2026, if the ransom is not paid. Minidoka Memorial Hospital is one of three victims currently listed on the darkweb data leak site.
