Data breach at French healthcare services firm puts millions at risk

French healthcare payments provider Viamedis suffered a cyberattack via a successful phishing incident that exposed personal data—including social security numbers, dates of birth, marital status and insurer/payment details—of policyholders and healthcare professionals; Viamedis says banking and contact data were not compromised, has notified authorities and partners, and is investigating the scope while related providers (Malakoff Humanis and reportedly Almerys) face indirect impacts.
