Fifteen Million Records Lost To Cloud

Just another splendid Tuesday, as provider DentaQuest admitted fifteen million patients had sensitive data stolen in a cloud attack. The fallout was five times worse than initial estimates from ShinyHunters, who used a simple pay-or-leak cloud theft scheme without needing file encryption. This blunder impacted fifteen million dental and vision patients. Safeguarding organizations from these predictable cloud leaks requires implementing rigid access controls, mandatory multi-factor authentication, and constant monitoring of cloud storage.
