Summary

A significant cyberattack at Yale New Haven Health has exposed sensitive patient data for over 5.5 million individuals, including personal information like names, addresses, and Social Security numbers. The breach, likely related to ransomware, was attributed to an individual or group with a history of such attacks after TechCrunch reported no major ransomware group claimed responsibility.
