- Cardiac monitor maker's security skips a beat as data thieves go for the jugular
iRhythm, a California-based cardiac monitoring company, confirmed a data breach where cybercriminals stole patient health information and proprietary data. Attackers demanded payment to avoid public disclosure, though the breach did not affect clinical systems or patient care. The incident was attributed to social engineering, and the company has cyber insurance to cover potential losses.
