A data breach happens when hackers or outsiders break into systems and steal sensitive data. Recent cases hit hospitals, wildlife agencies, and government offices. A vendor working with Mayo Clinic admitted patient records were exposed following one attack. Another health-care company, Xsolis, said that hackers took details for 1.4 million people. Texas Parks and Wildlife said employee and visitor data were also leaked. In Europe, Belgium’s intelligence service is now investigating a separate breach of staff files. Victims have started getting murky breach notices stuffed with typos and wrong details, leaving many confused about what’s real.
