A series of cyber attacks have targeted major service providers and corporations, revealing a significant breach of sensitive information due to a Department of Finance bungle, which inadvertently shared in-confidence fee rates and personal data of up to 400 of the nation's biggest service providers. Additionally, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), BSNL, and Apollo Hospitals experienced user data breaches, allegedly breached. UnitedHealth, a US insurance giant, reported that its health tech and patient data subsidiary, Change Healthcare, was hacked by a suspected "nation-state" actor, leading to an outage of a key pharmacy network system and making it harder for some people to fill prescriptions. This incident has been linked to a nation-state threat, with certain systems of UnitedHealth Group still offline following the attack.
