Sensitive patient data from the healthcare platform Welltok, owned by Virgin Pulse, has been accessed by hackers. The data breach extended to the Canadian government and its contractors, compromising personal and financial information of employees. Perry Johnson & Associates, a medical transcription service provider, also fell victim to a cyberattack, compromising personal and health information of 9 million Americans. The LockBit ransomware group claimed responsibility for a data breach affecting Canadian government, military, and police employees, potentially involving 24 years' worth of personal and financial information. The evolving landscape of edge computing and ransomware, along with the introduction of EU's Digital Identity Wallet, are adding new dimensions to cybersecurity. Hackers have released images of British Library employees’ passports, further exemplifying the increasing personal nature of data breaches. The US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory confirmed a data breach after 'SiegedSec' hacktivists leaked stolen HR data. The expanding use of generative AIs by cybercriminals, the ongoing surge of ransomware campaigns, and the proliferation of destructive wipers in recent attacks highlight the escalating sophistication of cybercrime.
