Abbott Laboratories is investigating two separate cybersecurity incidents: ShinyHunters claims it used vishing to compromise Microsoft Entra SSO and exfiltrated large volumes of customer PII and internal documents from legacy Exact Sciences systems, while ShadowByt3$ alleges accessing the LabCentral customer portal to steal product documentation and intellectual property; Abbott says it has activated incident response, engaged experts, notified law enforcement, and reports no operational impact though the actors' claims are not independently verified.
