Jul 10, 2024, 07:50 PM

A significant cyberattack by RansomHub has compromised the Florida health department's data, exposing sensitive health and personal information on the dark web. The attack has affected systems managing birth and death certificates, causing disruptions as Florida works to restore normalcy. In response, Florida has abruptly ended support for digital driver's licenses on iPhone and Android, forcing digital ID holders to rely on physical cards. This incident follows a broader trend of cyberattacks impacting healthcare data, including a 2023 hack affecting 600,000 Medicare recipients and a recent breach affecting Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The Change Healthcare cyberattack has also raised serious concerns among security professionals.
