Poland medical data breach affects 19 million

Polish Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski announced a major cyberattack on MyDr, a provider of Poland's Electronic Medical Records system, resulting in the theft of medical records of nearly 19 million Polish citizens. The stolen database contains over two terabytes of information, including data related to medicines and prescriptions, from over 12,000 healthcare facilities. Gawkowski stated that there is currently no indication of involvement from outside Poland, and security services are investigating the group behind the attack. The government is working to transfer affected records to state-run systems and has urged citizens to restrict use of their national identification numbers. The attack did not disrupt day-to-day operations of healthcare providers. Separately, South Korea's Coupang confirmed a large-scale leak of personal data affecting 33.7 million users, though this appears to be a separate incident.
