Colorado Pulmonary Intensivists Listed by Pear Ransomware Group

On April 9, 2026, the pear Ransomware Group added Colorado Pulmonary Intensivists to its public leak site, claiming that internal files had been exfiltrated from the medical practice that provides outpatient pulmonary care and sleep medicine.

What Public Reporting Shows

Public reporting indicates the group posted the Colorado Pulmonary Intensivists entry on its onion-based leak portal. The notice states that data was stolen during a ransomware incident, though the exact number of records or individuals affected remains undisclosed. Available details list only “internal files” as the material exfiltrated. The practice specializes in pulmonology and critical care services, meaning patient records, billing information, and staff documents are among the data types likely included. No ransom demand deadline has been publicly confirmed in the initial posting.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

When a medical provider’s systems are breached, the information exposed often includes names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, addresses, insurance details, and clinical notes. Patient data from pulmonology and sleep-medicine records can reveal sensitive health conditions that criminals later use for identity theft, insurance fraud, or targeted phishing. If you or a family member has ever visited Colorado Pulmonary Intensivists, your information may now sit in an attacker-controlled archive. Even if you were not a direct patient, shared billing or referral records can still place your details in the same dataset.

The Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

Stolen medical files rarely stay isolated. Attackers combine names, addresses, and phone numbers with login credentials harvested from other breaches to build detailed identity profiles. A single leaked email-password pair from this incident can unlock personal accounts, work systems, or your children’s gaming profiles. Once those gaming accounts are taken over, attackers extract additional real-world details such as home addresses, parents’ names, and linked phone numbers. This creates a cascading doxxing chain that can lead to harassment, financial fraud, or physical risk for every member of the household.

Pear Ransomware Group’s Known Track Record

Public reporting attributes the pear Ransomware Group with a series of healthcare and small-business attacks since it first appeared in late 2024. The group typically gains initial access through phishing or unpatched remote desktop services, exfiltrates data before encrypting systems, and then posts samples on its leak site when victims refuse to pay. Past targets have included other medical practices and regional service providers. Its playbook relies on steady pressure through partial data dumps rather than immediate mass publication, giving victims a short window to negotiate before broader exposure.

What to do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your emails, phone numbers, usernames, and real-world identity so you can see exactly what this claimed breach connects to.
