Leading U.S. commercial bank Truist confirmed its systems were breached in an October 2023 cyberattack after a threat actor posted some of the company's data for sale on a hacking forum. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Truist Bank was formed after SunTrust Banks and BB&T (Branch Banking and Trust Company) merged in December 2019. Now a top-10 commercial bank with total assets of $535 billion, Truist offers a wide range of services, including consumer and small business banking, commercial banking, corporate and investment banking, insurance, wealth management, and payments.
Ascension, one of the largest U.S. healthcare systems, revealed that a May 2024 ransomware attack was caused by an employee who downloaded a malicious file onto a company device. Ascension says this was likely an "honest mistake" as the employee thought they were downloading a legitimate file. The attack impacted the MyChart electronic health records system, phones, and systems used to order tests, procedures, and medications, prompting the healthcare giant to take some devices offline on May 8 to contain what it described at the time as a "cyber security event," This forced employees to keep track of procedures and medications on paper, as they could no longer access patient records electronically.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is warning that it suffered a ransomware attack on its software testing environment and is now investigating whether any personal information was exposed. TDSB is Canada's largest school board and the fourth largest in North America, responsible for the administration and management of 473 elementary, 110 secondary, and five adult education schools. The organization operates on an annual budget of roughly $2.5 billion. An announcement published on the board's website yesterday notifies parents, guardians, and caregivers of a ransomware attack that may have exposed sensitive information.
U.S. food chain giant Panera Bread is notifying employees of a data breach after unknown threat actors stole their sensitive personal information in a March ransomware attack. The company and its franchises own 2,160 cafes under the names Panera Bread or Saint Louis Bread Co, spread across 48 states in the U.S. and Ontario, Canada. In breach notification letters filed with the Office of California's Attorney General, Panera said it detected what it describes as a "security incident," took measures to contain the breach, hired external cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident, and notified law enforcement.
Last week, the notorious hacker gang, ShinyHunters, sent shockwaves across the globe by allegedly plundering 1.3 terabytes of data from 560 million Ticketmaster users. This colossal breach, with a price tag of $500,000, could expose the personal information of a massive swath of the live event company's clientele, igniting a firestorm of concern and outrage. Let's review the facts. Live Nation has officially confirmed the breach in an 8-K filing to the SEC. According to the document released on May 20, the company "identified unauthorized activity within a third-party cloud database environment containing Company data," primarily from the Ticketmaster subsidiary. The filing claims Live Nation launched an investigation and is cooperating with law enforcement. So far, the company doesn't believe that the breach will have a material impact on its business operations.
