Medical, utility tech companies hit by intruders
"Itron took action to remediate and remove the unauthorized activity and has not observed any subsequent unauthorized activity within its corporate systems."
"Medtronic's breach disclosure follows ShinyHunters' claims that the data-theft-and-extortion crew broke into the medical device business and compromised over 9M records containing PII and other terabytes of internal corporate data."
Itron and Medtronic experienced significant cybersecurity breaches, with Itron reporting unauthorized access on April 13. Itron took steps to remediate the situation and noted no operational impact, expecting insurance reimbursement for costs. Medtronic disclosed unauthorized access to its corporate IT systems, with claims of over 9 million records compromised. An extortion demand was made by the group ShinyHunters, threatening to leak stolen data if not paid. Both companies are investigating the incidents and have not provided detailed responses regarding the breaches.
