MOVEit, a massive global fire-sharing service provider, recently suffered a data breach that could impact 100's of corporations in the United States, Europe, and many other areas of the world. The file-transfer service provider is supposed to offer a secure transfer solution, and it appears that it may not be as secure as so many hoped. This breach is the result of a ransomware attack, and that attack could result in substantial losses for so many involved.

Capital One is a large financial corporation and an American bank that offers financing and a range of other financial services to interested customers. The company works with millions of customers throughout the country, and with so much data and so many services, Capital One must rely on partners to deliver its services effectively. Its reliance on third-party companies is what caused the company to suffer from a substantial data breach that put more than 16,779 customers at risk.

Data breaches are a serious risk that can lead to a substantial amount of lost information annually. This week financial, legal, health, and education sectors were all hit. Major health insurance providers like MCNA and Harvard Pilgrim were exposed, legal company Casepoint suffered substantial data losses, the University of Rochester was hit, and Capital One also suffered significant losses.

Harvard Pilgrim Health Care is an insurance provider that offers non-profit healthcare to residents in a variety of different states, including New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The company generates more than $622 million in revenue annually and employs over 4,400 people during its regular operations. It works with millions of patients, and a mix of those patients was exposed in the recent data breach impacting that company.

The University of Rochester is a mid-sized school in New York State. It was founded in 1850 and has more than 12,000 students overall. The school maintains over 30,000 staff members overall and manages a large amount of data for all those individuals. Since data is largely digital today, the school is a major target for data breaches and identity theft. With breaches becoming so common today, it's not surprising the school suffered from a recent breach.

Casepoint is one of the first companies to get approval to serve as an eDiscovery tool for Federal and State governments in the United States. The company manages legal data for huge agencies and is the home of many legal secrets that could provide lawyers with an edge if they had access to all the company's data. That's why Casepoint suffering from a data breach is such a significant problem.

MCNA, a health insurance program service that works with children and Medicaid recipients, was recently the target of a ransomware gang. The company works with millions of patients, dental clinics, dental and orthodontic practices, and more. A huge number of patients entrust their data to this massive organization, and they are now at risk from serious cyber-attacks because of this significant data breach.

Suffolk University is a private research university located near Boston, Massachusetts. The school serves over 7,500 students each year and offers more than 100 undergrad, professional, and graduate programs. A huge number of students submit data for financial aid, tuition, and more, and that data could be at risk at a school that doesn't secure its data well. The school earns more than $118 million in revenue annually.

High-profile companies, government agencies, healthcare companies, and government contractors were all exposed in data breaches this week. Tesla is one of the biggest companies to suffer from a breach this week, but the US Marine Corps, ABB, Apria Healthcare, and Suffolk University were also hit by ransomware gangs and targeted hackers.
