Breach

Tennessee-based Chord Specialty Dental Partners had data from more than 173,000 individuals confirmed to have been compromised following a data breach identified in September, according to SecurityWeek.

U.S.-Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point has minimized an alleged breach by the threat actor "CoreInjection," who claimed exfiltrating the company's internal project documents, user credentials, internal network maps, source code and proprietary software binaries, and employee contact information from its systems, reports Hackread.

Credentials lied dormant for four years until a threat actor gained access and attacked the Samsung service ticket system.

Hackread reports that X, formerly known as Twitter, had over 2.8 billion individuals' profile data exposed on Breach Forums by the threat actor "ThinkingOne," who claimed the information to have been stolen by a former employee amid widespread layoffs at the U.S. social media firm.

Numerous healthcare providers across the U.S. had their patient data compromised following an attack against the legacy data migration servers of major healthcare software-as-a-service firm Oracle Health, previously known as Cerner, initially discovered late last month, reports BleepingComputer.

SiliconAngle reports that third-party compromise accounted for 36% of all data breaches last year, which may still be undervalued due to inadequate reporting and improper classification, highlighting the escalation in vendor-driven attacks.

Widely used cloud-based streaming tools platform StreamElements has disclosed having been impacted by a data breach involving a former third-party service provider.
