Abbott says attackers got into a limited number of internal systems in its Cancer Diagnostics business, and it is separately investigating a claimed breach of its LabCentral customer portal. The confirmed incident followed extortion claims by ShinyHunters, which said it used a vishing attack and a compromised Microsoft Entra single sign-on account to access legacy Exact Sciences systems and steal data from services including SharePoint, ServiceNow, Databricks, and Coupa; Abbott said the LabCentral claim is unrelated.
Why it matters: This could affect patients, customers, and healthcare partners if the claimed theft of personal, medical, or contract data is confirmed. Healthcare organizations and Abbott customers should watch for notifications, review account security around Microsoft Entra and portal access, and be alert to follow-on phishing or fraud.
