The Target: U.S. healthcare giant HCA Healthcare, an American for-profit operator of healthcare facilities that was founded in 1968.
The Take: Patient names; address data, such as city, state and ZIP code; patient email addresses; phone numbers; dates of birth; gender; and patient service dates, such as locations, and details about next appointments.
The Vector: DataBreaches.net first reported the seller’s forum post on July 5, in which the seller claimed to have 27 million rows of information. Some of the column headers in the stolen file include data that HCA says was stolen, such as names, gender and dates of birth.
This breach is a stark reminder of how important authentication controls are in an overall robust cybersecurity posture. In particular, the information exposed here is perfect for crafting highly believable phishing campaigns as it would allow push notifications.
Forbes: 2023 may go down in history as the year of artificial intelligence (AI)—or at least the year when business leaders and consumers alike became obsessed with generative AI tools like ChatGPT.
Business Wire: In the 2023 Cybersecurity Perspectives Survey from Scale Venture Partners, it is reported that security incidents, especially those involving cloud services, are escalating.
TechCrunch: It wasn't long ago when it seemed like the tide was beginning to turn on ransomware. But 2023 has shown us that’s not the case: We’re only halfway through the year, yet hackers are already claiming more victims than ever before, reaffirming the importance of cybersecurity for every business.
Crunchbase: In 2021, venture funding in the red-hot cybersecurity market topped $23 billion. Two years later, it seems like a security startup will be lucky to raise just one-third of that.
Yahoo News: The U.S. government accused a cybersecurity professional of hacking a cryptocurrency exchange and stealing around $9 million in cryptocurrency, in what looks like a case of an ethical hacker turning rogue, then trying to appear ethical again.
SecurityWeek: The Global Governments and Critical Infrastructure (G2CI) business, created in 2018 to serve as Forcepoint’s government cybersecurity unit, will be spun out as an independent entity pushing the company’s data-first SASE offering with new capabilities and third-party integrations.
CSO: Responding to a security crisis can be a challenge for most cybersecurity teams. It can be doubly so for a team with relatively new and inexperienced security professionals.
The Target: Senior Choice, Inc., which manages and does business as three (3) residential facilities, The Atrium (216 Main Street, Johnstown, PA 15901), Beacon Ridge (1515 Wayne Ave, Indiana, PA 15701), and The Patriot (495 W Patriot St, Somerset, PA 15501).
The Take: Personal information including names and dates of birth, medical information including diagnosis and treatment information.
The Vector: There is evidence that unauthorized actors accessed some internal systems used for business operations during the period between April 18, 2023, and April 24, 2023.
This breach is a stark reminder of how important authentication controls are in an overall robust cybersecurity posture, and more critically, ensuring these controls are in place on all third-party vendors which have access to a firm’s data.
Dark Reading: With the chaos of the pandemic now in the rearview mirror, we are finally back to "business as usual." The return to normal operations may imply that chief information security officers (CISOs) can now breathe easier, but the opposite is true.
