Canada’s Hospital for Sick Children attacked by cybercriminals again as employee data stolen

The Hospital for Sick Children in Canada disclosed a data theft incident involving stolen employee information, which the institution attributes to a third-party software application vulnerability. This marks the second significant cyber incident at the organization, following a ransomware attack in 2022 that disrupted operations.

Why it matters: Healthcare organizations and vendors using the affected third-party software should investigate their environments immediately to confirm breach status and assess whether stolen employee data exposes internal systems or credentials to attackers.
