During this past week, we saw cyberattacks, including ransomware, devastate businesses and put individuals at risk with the immense amount of stolen and leaked data. It’s more necessary than ever to remain vigilant and attuned to the threat landscape. Here are some of the most recent major breaches.

Berkeley County Schools, which represents the second largest district in West Virginia, shut its schools following a ransomware attack against its infrastructure, which put sensitive records at risk.

A ransomware attack against the Modesto, California police department has disabled patrol vehicle computers and limited communication capabilities between officers and dispatch.

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, a non-profit health services provider, experienced a significant ransomware attack that crippled IT systems, prohibiting practitioners from accessing patient records.

After one employee succumbed to a phishing attack, Reddit had its internal systems accessed by threat actors who stole source code and internal corporate documents.

AmerisourceBergen, a wholesale pharmaceutical distributor with $57 billion in assets, confirmed a breach in which sensitive data was stolen and leaked online.

These events just scratch the surface of the previous week’s threat landscape, providing reason enough to contact the SpearTip team to ensure your data and business operations are adequately protected against cyberattacks.
