🖱️Ransomware Against Synnovis:
Synnovis is a blood and tissue testing lab in the U.K., which was hacked by a ransomware group in an attempt for extortion. The data included millions of patient interactions, a part of which was published online by the hackers. Just like the Change Healthcare case, also this breach caused many malfunctions in hospitals around the U.K.
🖱️Snowflake and Its Unfortunate Customers:
Snowflake is one of the biggest cloud storage companies, which also provides services to other companies. In 2024, many of those companies had millions of their records hacked or stolen. This includes "...560 million records from Ticketmaster, 79 million records from Advance Auto Parts and some 30 million records from TEG". Also "...tens of thousands of employee records from Neiman Marcus and Santander Bank, and millions of records of students at Los Angeles Unified School District" were stolen by hackers.
That's it for today's post. Looking back at these incidents, there is no way to sugarcoat it: data privacy has a loooong way to go. Stay safe🙏
