LivaNova employees have been impacted by a ransomware attack, with the LockBit group claiming responsibility.
The UK-based medical device manufacturer, LivaNova, has notified current and former employees about a “cybersecurity incident” that compromised their personal data.
The stolen information includes:
- Name
- Telephone number
- Email
- Address
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Financial account information
- Health insurance information
- Online credentials
- Work-related information such as employee ID, compensation, disability status, and evaluations
The ransomware attack, which occurred on October 26th, 2023, disrupted LivaNova’s IT systems. The LockBit ransomware group has claimed responsibility, asserting on December 9th that they have 2.2TB of the company’s data.
In response, LivaNova’s breach notification to affected individuals stated that they “quickly took steps to protect its systems and data and to mitigate the impact of the incident, including shutting down certain systems and requiring personnel to change their passwords.”
To support affected individuals, the company is offering two years of free identity protection and credit monitoring services.
