Major IVF provider Genea suffers ‘cyber incident’ | Information Age

Australian IVF provider Genea suffered a data breach that allowed an unauthorised third party to access its systems. The violation’s extent is not clear yet, but reports indicate that Genea had to shut some systems and servers for investigations. Patients are concerned about the potential exposure of sensitive data and the impact on their treatment cycles. Genea controls over 80% of the projected $810 million in revenues in the IVF industry. This breach further emphasizes healthcare data’s vulnerability, with breaches in the sector increasing from 18% to 23% last year.
