Germany's Fresenius Medical Care confirms data leak in Serbia after hacker attack

German dialysis provider Fresenius Medical Care (FMC) confirmed on Thursday that patient data from some of its dialysis centers in Serbia leaked after a recent hacker attack.

The leak might be associated with a recent incident where hackers stole data from its parent company, the German healthcare group Fresenius, FMC said.

The investigation was ongoing but FMC's operations in Serbia continued, the company said, adding it had filed a complaint against the unknown attackers with Germany's public prosecutor.
