MCBS Data Breach Affects 1.2 Million Individuals

The PEAR ransomware group claimed responsibility for stealing 3 terabytes of data from a medical business management company, affecting 1.2 million individuals. The stolen information originated from MCBS systems.

Why it matters: Healthcare organizations and patients need to monitor credit and health records for fraudulent activity; the medical sector should reassess third-party vendor access controls and ransomware defenses.
