CBS News reports that Minneapolis Public Schools had its data compromised in a Medusa ransomware attack leaked on the dark web nearly three weeks after it reported being impacted by a ransomware incident.

More than 4.2 million individuals had their data compromised in a data breach impacting Miami-based healthcare administrator and managed care solutions provider Independent Living Systems last July, making it the largest healthcare database reported so far this year, reports BleepingComputer.

Threat actors have exposed 721.5 million credentials online last year, many of which had been exfiltrated from malware-infected third-party business apps, VentureBeat reports.

A former employee leading a class action lawsuit against the semiconductor chipmaker claims the firm's cybersecurity negligence led to the ransomware attack.

While the education and healthcare sectors have been regular targets of ransomware, experts say recent incidents are reflecting increasingly aggressive extortion tactics as well as a more heightened — and crueler — focus on exploiting weak or vulnerable groups as a means of upping the pressure on organizations to pay.

The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles has disclosed having been impacted by data breach following LockBit ransomware's admission of compromising its systems and leaking its data, BleepingComputer reports.

CyberScoop reports that over 1,800 unique data entries belonging to Congress members, family, and staff that were stolen from the DC Health Link breach have been leaked by the threat actor dubbed 'Denfur' on Sunday.
