"Your clients will be offered the option to pay a fee for the removal of their data from the public leak. You still have a chance to prevent a catastrophe," they said.It is unclear what type of data the hackers claim to have, but TissuPath, the pathology company, said patient names, dates of birth, contact details, Medicare numbers and private health insurance details were exposed.
