Interesting aspect for me is how's that data stored.
Cloud providers love to advertise that 'data is secured at rest and in transit'.
Also the same cloud providers provide key management for you.
Essentially situation is the same as is with the cryptocurrencies: 'not yours keys - not yours coins'.
Thus since cloud provider has both the keys and the data they easily can hand over that data to whoever court says so.
I wonder if holding stolen digital data acquired by illegal means in cloud storage is akin to holding stolen real-world goods, like by a pawn shop or fence. Of course, the hackers may have sold the contents already making deleting it moot.
The Ai generated art piece used with the article is so dumb. The probability that the health firm's IT staff aren't a bunch of Windows-minded pointy clicky Windows guys is near zero.
