Ransomware was again one of the biggest contributors to that total, accounting for almost one in three databreaches. In case you missed it, you may also be interested in our first quarterly review of databreaches and cyber attacks. Databreaches. Cyber attacks. Ransomware. Financial information.
Digital Guardian recently asked a group of cyber security experts what the most important step is following a databreach. So how should you approach a databreach investigation? This might be, for example,the victim’s computer, a web page or a physical space in which documents were compromised. The crime scene.
Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) sets standards for protecting sensitive health information, particularly electronic health records (EHRs). HIPAA also requires organizations to conduct regular risk assessments and report databreaches.
Announcement: slight methodology change For databreaches and cyber attacks claimed by threat actors on dark web forums, where they provide samples or other evidence of the breach, we now accept these incidents as having genuinely occurred, but don’t accept the number of records the threat actor claims to have stolen at face value.
When I spoke at the University of Florida E-Discovery Conference last month, there was a question from the live stream audience about a lawyer’s duty to disclose a databreach within his or her law firm. When a breach is discovered, the ABA Opinion finds that the duty of competence under Model Rule 1.1 No exceptions*.
Just as the number of databreaches continues to rise, the number of lawsuits over databreaches continues to rise as well. Chances are that your data has been hacked at some point from at least one company with which you do business. But this lawsuit is unique. million US citizens. million US citizens.
When it comes to databreaches and other cybersecurity threats, many people discuss the threats from outside hackers. In the days after he got fired, Needham got busy: he used the stolen login credentials to get into the computer account of a former colleague – Andy “Speedy” Gonzalez – and then began fiddling with the account settings.
According to Bloomberg, the breach occurred when two attackers accessed a private GitHub coding site used by Uber software engineers and then used login credentials they obtained there to access data stored on an Amazon Web Services account that handled computing tasks for the company.

The IRR defines personal data as personal information, sensitive information and privileged information. Sensitive information refers to personal information about an individual’s race, ethnicity, health, education, genetic or sexual life of a person, proceedings related to an offense committed by a person, health records and tax returns.
This means imaging the “art of the possible” for a new future using a cloud computing model to deliver transformative change. Gartner (2021) has two related definitions: Digital Transformation: “can refer to anything from IT modernization (for example, cloud computing), to digital optimization, to the invention of new digital business models.”
Brian Krebs is an independent investigative reporter known for his coverage of technology, malware , databreaches , and cybercrime developments.

I am a board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, AccessNow, and the Tor Project; and an advisory board member of Electronic Privacy Information Center and VerifiedVoting.org. The security breach was a result of a vulnerability in the software for their websites: a program called Apache Struts.
The keynote address ( The Future Practice of Law: AI, Blockchain and Quantum Computing ) was presented by Shawnna Hoffman, Global Co-Leader of the IBM Cognitive Legal Practice, IBM from 10:00am-11:00am. But I did attend the other sessions.
While we were preparing to eat turkey and stuff ourselves with various goodies last week, the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) provided an important guideline for compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Transfer of personal data to third countries.
This means imagining the “art of the possible” for a new future using a cloud computer model to deliver transformative change. A cloud-first “mind-shift” implies using a cloud computing model, which exposes an organization to risks on the Internet, where data is considered “digital gold” that cyber criminals want to steal.
At the end of each month, these incidents – and any others that we find – will be used to inform our monthly analysis of databreaches and cyber attacks. The data is more than mere credentials, too – according to Cybernews, most of the exposed data is sensitive. Databreached: more than 26 billion records.
This was further emphasized at HIMSS 2022 where the spotlight was on the use of cloud computing solutions, artificial intelligence (AI) and the adoption of Fast Health Interoperability (FHIR) to drive transformative changes in healthcare – across telehealth, telemedicine, genomics, precision medicine and value-based care.
Indeed, it bears reminding relatively small breaches can often be the most damaging – such as an email gaffe this month in which the identities of 250 abuse survivors in Northern Ireland were exposed. Take a look at every databreach and cyber attack that we recorded in May in this blog. Databreaches.
