NYC Health + Hospitals (NYCHHC), the healthcare system of New York City and the largest municipal healthcare network in the United States, has confirmed it suffered a cyberattack that resulted in the loss of highly sensitive data on 1.8 million people. Among the stolen data are fingerprints and palm prints, which can never be changed, making this breach even more disruptive. This is the latest in a growing number of major data breaches added to the healthcare data breach tracker maintained by
Businesses often share data across corporate boundaries, but cybersecurity risks have never been higher. As joint technology projects become more common, security teams currently face a difficult balance between enabling collaboration and protecting sensitive systems and information. This balance requires careful planning to support innovation while protecting valuable assets from potential threats.[1]
Current data attacks underline the challenge, with hundreds of millions of records compromis
The financial sector remains a prime target for cyber-attacks, with attackers constantly seeking to exploit vulnerabilities across the industry's global supply chain.

London’s Heathrow Airport and terminals in Brussels, Berlin, and Dublin are among those that continue to be impacted by the incident. A US aerospace and defense leader, RTX, told the BBC that its Muse software was targeted by threat actors. The software helps airlines to digitally check in passengers, validate boarding passes, and t
Vendor-related risks, from both tech providers and non-tech partners, have always been a concern, but they’re now becoming increasingly apparent in a growing number of cyber insurance claims.
