In case you missed the news...

Re-cap of this week's Newsletters

Hey Techies! In case you may have missed this week’s Newsletters, here is a recap:

It's time for us to dig into a concerning incident that recently unfolded within the tech realm. Twilio, a name we know and trust, has faced the storm of a data breach. What Went Down? On August 4, 2022, the Twilio squad detected unauthorized access to some Twilio customer accounts. Sneaky hackers used a clever social engineering attack to pilfer employee credentials. These cyber sorcerers tricked some employees into revealing their credentials, which they then used to enter Twilio's internal systems. From there, they laid hands on certain customer data. The investigation is still ongoing, but they're reaching out to customers impacted by the breach.

We've got some news from the digital frontlines that's worth your attention. PharMerica recently had a bit of a tango with cyber trouble. But don't panic, we've got the details for you. 

On March 14, 2023, PharMerica and its parent company, BrightSpring Health Services, stumbled upon some fishy business on their computer network. Quick to react, PharMerica initiated an internal investigation and roped in cybersecurity experts to handle the situation. The outcome? It turns out an uninvited guest had popped into PharMerica's computer systems between March 12-13, 2023. Yep, you guessed it - a good ol' data breach.
