The company suffered a data attack that left it with substantial losses.
Idaho is home to many popular universities that serve millions of students annually. Seven of the schools in Idaho were recently impacted by a data breach that resulted in a substantial amount of lost information.

The list of companies includes the Charles George VA Medical Center, ARx Patient Solutions, Advanced Medical Management, and Imagine360 LLC. We also can't skip over the fact that oil giant Shell was hit by a breach as well.
