Glacier Medical Group is sending notification letters to the potentially impacted individuals to notify them of this incident and to provide recommended steps to assist them in protecting their information. 

On March 16, 2020, Mat-Su Surgical suffered a ransomware event that encrypted files on its systems.  Mat-Su Surgical conducted an investigation and hired independent computer forensic investigators to help determine what occurred.  Mat-Su Surgical's investigation found that an unauthorized actor gained access to and viewed files stored on Mat-Su Surgical's systems.

Following their investigation, Mat-Su Surgical informed Glacier Medical Group of the ransomware event that affected their systems, and that the information of patients whom Dr. Gulley saw while at their facilities was still stored on their systems at the time of the incident.  Consequently, those individuals' information may also have been impacted by this incident.  On August 3, 2020, Mat-Su Surgical provided a list of those individuals whom what jobs can you get with a computer science degree while at Mat-Su Surgical and whose information may have been impacted.
