"Population Screening Netherlands has decided to inform all women whose data has ever been shared with Clinical Diagnostics. A total of 941,000 letters will be sent out. The laboratory has been working with the organization since 2017, and data from all these women has been exchanged during that period. The exchange between the Dutch Population Screening Program and the laboratory concerns name, address and place of residence, gender, type of examination, date of birth, social security number, test result(s),"
"The data breach at Clinical Diagnostics appears to be even larger than initially thought. The Dutch Population Screening Organization reports that data from a total of more than 941,000 women may have been leaked, of which the laboratory currently confirms 715,000 cases. Clinical Diagnostics cannot guarantee that this is the full extent of the breach. Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland has launched several independent investigations to analyze the situation."
Clinical Diagnostics suffered a cyberattack that may have exposed personal data of more than 941,000 women linked to the national cervical cancer screening program. The laboratory currently confirms 715,000 affected cases and cannot rule out further victims. Data exchanged since 2017 includes names, addresses, gender, dates of birth, social security numbers, types of examination, test results, and general practitioner names. Email addresses and telephone numbers were not shared by the screening organization but could have been leaked via other laboratory clients. Multiple independent and criminal investigations are underway to determine how the hack occurred and what data was stolen.
