Gunra Ransomware Strikes Major Hospital: Millions at Risk After Massive Data Leak
Gunra Ransomware has struck again — this time targeting American Hospital Dubai (AHD), one of the UAE’s leading healthcare facilities, in a major cyberattack that could put millions at risk.
The group, which surfaced earlier this year, claims to have leaked an eye-popping 40 terabytes of sensitive data, including patient records, credit card numbers, Emirates ID details, payroll data, and confidential internal files.

Gunra Ransomware reportedly infiltrated AHD’s systems in early June 2025, encrypting servers and exfiltrating vast amounts of data. Leaked internal emails suggest the hospital’s leadership may have urged staff to downplay the incident, despite mounting evidence of a serious breach.
Cybersecurity experts warn that with such a large data dump — allegedly involving millions of patient records — victims could face identity theft, fraud, and privacy violations. The healthcare sector continues to be a prime target for cybercriminals because of its rich data and often vulnerable systems.
As of now, American Hospital Dubai has yet to release a public statement, raising concerns about compliance with strict cybersecurity laws and patient notification requirements in the UAE. Authorities are reportedly investigating, while patients and privacy advocates await answers.
Bottom line: Gunra Ransomware’s latest attack underscores the urgent need for healthcare providers everywhere to strengthen cybersecurity and communicate openly when breaches occur.
