3. Lapsus$ breach of Okta prompts HHS alert for healthcare organizations
The Lapsus$ hack of authentication company Okta led to the compromise of multiple healthcare organizations, prompting The Department of Health and Human Services to warn the sector of the ongoing, potential threat the extortion group poses to the sector.
4. Security Nihilism Is Putting Your Company — and Its Employees — at Risk

5. Companies were slow to remove Russian spies’ malware, so FBI did it for them
