MAJOR SECURITY BREACHES IN 2023

Aug 8, 2023 | Newsletters

Regardless of an organization’s size, everyone is vulnerable to cyber attacks
and data breaches. Every day cybercriminals come up with new and creative ways
to steal private or sensitive information that they can then leverage for money.
The following table summarizes the publicly disclosed data breaches that have
occurred worldwide in 2023:

Let’s take a more in-depth look at some recent breaches:

 * MOVEit (May 2023) – 17.5 million impacted

Thousands of organizations have been affected by the recent MOVEit data breach.
Progress MOVEit is a leading secure Managed File Transfer (MFT) software used by
organizations around the world to provide visibility and control over file
transfer activities. It is believed that around the end of May, the
Russian-linked “Clop” ransomware group exploited a vulnerability
(CVE-2023-34362) using “SQL injection” in Progress Software’s MOVEit file
transfer application. Although the numbers may change, it is currently estimated
that sensitive “personally identifiable information” (PII) of more than 17.5
million individuals worldwide has been stolen.

Among the organizations impacted by this breach are many schools and
universities, including John Hopkins University, University of Utah, and UCLA.
Although MOVEit is not directly used at UD, two of the University’s third-party
service providers use it. At the end of June, UD was notified that the records
of several hundred UD individuals were believed to have been affected.
Investigations by these third-party service providers are still on-going. For
more information about this breach and the potential impact on the UD community,
please see the July 13th UDaily article.

 * Enzo Biochem (April 2023) – 2.5 million impacted

Enzo Biochem is a pioneer in molecular diagnostics and provides treatments for
cancer, metabolic, and infectious diseases as well as testing services for a
variety of transmissible diseases such as COVID-19 and STDs. In April it was
breached by a ransomware attack that affected the PII of nearly 2.5 million
people. 

 * PharMerica (March 2023) – 6 million impacted

The personally identifiable information of almost 6 million individuals was
compromised in a data breach at PharMerica – one of the largest providers of
pharmacy services in the United States. Upon discovering the incident,
PharMerica began an internal investigation and determined an unknown third party
accessed PharMerica computer systems from March 12-13. Responsibility for the
breach has been claimed by the “Money Message” ransomware group. This breach is
the largest healthcare data breach to be reported by a single HIPAA-covered
entity so far in 2023. 

Learning from these breaches can help us defend UD against nefarious threat
actors. As per the Gartner prediction report, by 2025 human failure will be
responsible for over half of all significant cyber incidents. Humans are the
weakest link in cybersecurity. Completing the Secure UD Education – 2023 and
keeping up-to-date with cybersecurity best practices can help. Cybersecurity is
everyone’s responsibility.
