"LivaNova USA Discloses Data Breach Impacting 130,000 Individuals"

Medical device manufacturer LivaNova USA has recently started notifying 130,000 individuals, warning that their personal information was compromised in an October 2023 data breach.  LivaNova says it took certain systems offline in response to the incident, without sharing further details on the nature of attack.  In December 2023, the LockBit ransomware gang claimed responsibility for the incident and for the theft of 2.2 terabytes of data from the company.  According to LivaNova, its investigation determined in April that the hackers stole personal information from its systems, including names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, medical information, and health insurance information.  LivaNova first disclosed the attack on April 25, in an incident notice on its website, which revealed that it had resumed manufacturing in certain locations that were affected by the disruption.  The company noted that the hackers first accessed LivaNova’s systems on October 26, nearly one month after the ransomware attack was discovered.
