"The scale of a data theft from a Dutch national screening programme laboratory is far greater than initially reported, research agency Bevolkingsonderzoek Nederland said on Friday."
"Hackers may have accessed the personal and medical details of all 941,000 women who have taken part in the cervical cancer screening programme since 2017, the agency said in a website statement."
"The organisation first said that data from 485,000 participants had been stolen, but has now confirmed that at least 715,000 women have been affected. Because it cannot rule out that the entire database was compromised, every woman who has taken part in the programme since 2017 will receive a letter in the coming weeks."
Personal and medical data from the Dutch national cervical cancer screening programme laboratory may have been accessed by hackers. The potential compromise affects all 941,000 women who participated in the programme since 2017. Initial reports indicated 485,000 compromised records; that estimate has been revised to at least 715,000 affected. The organisation cannot rule out that the entire database was compromised. Every woman who took part since 2017 will receive a notification letter in the coming weeks. Investigations and remedial notifications are underway.
