A cancer testing laboratory based in the US state of Georgia has reported a second data breach within just six months. In early July, Cytometry Specialists, dba CSI Laboratories, learned that it had been the victim of a phishing attack. The company reported the incident to federal regulators on September 26. CSI Laboratories says the more recent incident is not related to the data exfiltration incident it reported to regulators in March 2022.
Note
- A side effect of improving your cyber hygiene is that you may find you’re discovering incidents which would previously have gone unnoticed, which is a huge step in the right direction.
