Hackers who have stolen data from Allen, Texas-based Methodist Allen Surgical Center, Mckinney, Texas-based Methodist Craig Ranch Surgical Center and Methodist McKinney Hospital have threatened to post patient data on the dark web. 

Russian hackers tied to a ransomware attack against the hospital revealed a plan to release the information, which includes 360 gigabytes of files, on Aug. 19. 

The information includes contracts, prescription scans, patient cards, financial information and Social Security numbers.
