Medical giant Abbott investigates two cyber incidents as ShinyHunters and ShadowByt3$ both claim breaches

Abbott Laboratories is investigating two separate cyber incidents: one affecting its Cancer Diagnostics business and another targeting its LabCentral portal. Both incidents occurred within days of each other, with threat actors ShinyHunters and ShadowByt3$ claiming responsibility for breaches. The company disclosed unauthorized access to limited systems but has not yet provided comprehensive details on the scope or nature of data compromised.

Why it matters: Healthcare organizations and patients using Abbott's diagnostic services and lab portals face potential exposure of sensitive health information; practitioners should monitor Abbott's official advisories and assess whether their organization uses affected systems.
