Novocure data breach affects more than 1,400 cancer patients

Novocure, a healthtech company, disclosed a cyberattack in mid-August that exposed data belonging to more than 1,400 U.S. cancer patients and an undisclosed number of employees. The company has not yet detailed the scope of personal information compromised or the attackers' identity.

Why it matters: Cancer patients and Novocure staff should monitor for identity theft and phishing; healthcare organizations managing patient data should evaluate whether Novocure has adequate incident response and notification protocols.
