Laboratory Services Cooperative (LSC), a nonprofit providing lab services to reproductive health organizations, has announced a data breach that affected about 1.6 million people. Hackers accessed personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, medical details, and financial data, from LSC’s network in October 2024. The breach mainly impacted individuals who had lab tests through Planned Parenthood centers using LSC. The organization has engaged cybersecurity experts and law enforcement, and is offering free credit and medical identity protection services to those affected.

Western Sydney University

Western Sydney University (WSU) has reported two recent security incidents that exposed personal information of its students and staff. The first incident, which occurred between January and February 2025, involved a breach of its single sign-on (SSO) system, affecting around 10,000 current and former students. The second incident, discovered in March 2025, revealed that hackers leaked personal information on the dark web in November 2024. WSU had a previous breach in May 2023, where hackers accessed Microsoft Office 365 accounts, affecting 7,500 individuals and exposing sensitive data.

WooCommerce

A hacker has claimed responsibility for a data breach involving WooCommerce, which affects over 4.4 million records, including personal and business data from major organizations like NVIDIA, Texas.gov, and NIST. The breach, reportedly occurring on April 6, 2025, is said to involve data from third-party systems tied to WooCommerce websites, rather than WooCommerce itself. The exposed data includes emails, phone numbers, company details, and metadata on corporate websites. The hacker is selling the data, which contains valuable information for phishing and social engineering. WooCommerce’s parent company, Automattic, has denied a direct breach but is investigating the incident, suggesting the data may have been gathered from a third-party service.

WK Kellogg

WK Kellogg Co has announced that company data was stolen during the 2024 Cleo data theft attacks, which targeted a managed file transfer tool used by the company. The breach, which occurred on December 7, 2024, was linked to two zero-day vulnerabilities in Cleo’s software exploited by the Clop ransomware gang. The stolen data includes sensitive information like names and Social Security numbers. Kellogg became aware of the breach in February 2025 and is offering impacted individuals free identity monitoring and fraud protection services. This breach is part of a larger wave of attacks involving Cleo’s software, which has affected several companies, including Western Alliance Bank.
