The hacker group Nova received a ransom from Clinical Diagnostics but claims agreements were violated. A cyberattack on the Clinical Diagnostics laboratory has compromised the data of 485,000 women in a cervical cancer study. The stolen data includes personal and medical information. Only a portion of the data was prevented from being published due to the ransom payment. The breach was reported late, leading to criticism from Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland and a temporary suspension of collaboration.
Participants in the National Population Survey are facing a data breach due to a cyberattack on the Clinical Diagnostics laboratory, with stolen data already appearing online.
Clinical Diagnostics transferred ransom money to Nova, the hacker group behind the infiltration, to prevent data publication, but only 100 MB of the total 300 GB was saved.
Nova claims that Clinical Diagnostics has breached agreements made during negotiations, potentially due to police involvement in the case.
The data breach was reported to affected parties a month after its discovery, drawing sharp criticism from Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland for the delay.
