Security Vulnerabilities: LabCorp, Voter Data, & ComplyRight
LabCorp is one of the largest clinical labs in the U.S. and was the unfortunate victim of a SamSam Ransomware attack on July 13. Luckily, the attack was quickly noticed and immediate measures were taken to stop the spread of the attack. Still, in the 50 minutes it took to stop the attack, 7,000 systems and 1,900 servers were affected. This shows the power and chaos a Ransomware attack can cause, even when client information is not compromised, as in this situation.
