Recent cybersecurity incidents have raised concerns regarding data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information. A report indicated that thousands of previously exposed GitHub repositories, which have since been made private, can still be accessed via Microsoft's Copilot tool. This includes repositories from major companies such as Microsoft, AWS, Google, and IBM. Security researchers have warned that even briefly exposed data can remain accessible through generative AI platforms. In a separate incident, hackers have published sensitive patient data allegedly stolen from Australian IVF provider Genea, with reports linking the breach to the Termite ransomware gang. Additionally, a data breach at DISA Global Solutions has affected approximately 3.3 million individuals, exposing personal records. The firm confirmed that hackers accessed the data, further highlighting the risks associated with cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
