Spirit Medical Transport Listed by qilin Ransomware Group: Ransomware Claim — What’s Alleged & What To Do
Spirit Medical Transport was listed by the qilin ransomware group on May 13, 2026, after internal files were exfiltrated in a ransomware attack. Anyone connected to the organisation should check whether their information was exposed and take steps to protect it.
What happened
The only confirmed public information is the listing itself. The group claims that internal files were exfiltrated during a ransomware attack. No further details on the timing of the intrusion, the method of access, the volume of data, or any ransom demand have been disclosed. The number of individuals affected is reported as unknown.
Who is qilin?
Qilin is a ransomware-as-a-service operation that has been publicly tracked since at least 2022. The group typically gains access through compromised credentials or unpatched systems, deploys encryption on target networks, and exfiltrates data before demanding payment. Its listings on a dedicated leak site serve as a pressure tactic when victims do not pay. The group has previously claimed activity against organizations in healthcare, logistics, and other sectors that maintain sensitive operational records.
Who is Spirit Medical Transport?
Spirit Medical Transport provides non-emergency and emergency medical transportation services. Organizations of this type routinely collect and store patient identifiers, medical histories, insurance information, and scheduling details to coordinate care between facilities and patients. A compromise at such an entity can therefore touch records that combine personal and health-related information.
What was likely exposed
The listing refers only to “internal files exfiltrated in ransomware attack.” No inventory of specific file types or data categories has been released by either the group or the organization. Medical-transport providers commonly hold patient names, dates of birth, addresses, insurance details, and clinical notes; however, whether any of these categories were among the claimed files remains unconfirmed.
What's at stake
Individuals whose records may have been taken face the possibility that their personal and health information could be used for identity-related fraud or sold on underground forums. For the organization, the incident adds operational disruption from any encryption that occurred and potential regulatory obligations tied to the handling of protected health information. Both outcomes depend on facts that have not yet been made public.

Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.
Attributions to threat groups and methods reflect public reporting and, in some cases, unverified claims made by the groups themselves; they may be incomplete or later revised.
