"Medical Software Database Exposes Personal Data of 3.1M Patients"

A security researcher discovered the online exposure of a medical software company's database containing personal information belonging to more than 3.1 million patients. The unsecured database appears to belong to Adit, a developer of online booking and patient management software for medical and dental practices. The data exposed by the database includes patient names, email addresses, contact information, marital statuses, practice names, and more. Cybercriminals can use such data in the performance of targeted phishing attacks. There is a concern that the data may have already been stolen by a malicious bot known as the "meow bot," which has impacted hundreds of unsecured databases in recent weeks. This article continues to discuss the discovery of an exposed medical software database, the possibility that the meow bot has stolen the database, other recent database leaks involving healthcare-related data, and how such breaches could be prevented.
