What Happened at MNGI Digestive Health?
On or around August 20, 2023, an unauthorized user gained access to MNGI Digestive Health’s system. MNGI Digestive Health retained a cybersecurity firm to conduct further investigation to confirm the scope of the breach. Following the investigation’s completion, it was confirmed that the information compromised may have included: names, medical information, health insurance information, dates of birth, patient account numbers, financial account information, driver’s license/photo ID number, passport numbers, payment card information, usernames/passwords, taxpayer information, biometric data, and/or social security numbers.
Why is it Important to you?
The data breach, if confirmed, could have severe implications for the affected users, leading to potential identity theft, financial fraud, and further cyber attacks. The hacker group’s bold move to put this data on sale goes on to show the growing menace of cybercrime and the increasing sophistication of these cyber adversaries.
