So, Janet from accounting, can we trust you? In healthcare drama reminiscent of a medical soap opera, multiple institutions including Asheville Eye Associates and Moses-Weitzman are grappling with sizable data breaches. No, it's not Grey's Anatomy – it's just your personal data in the hands of hackers who apparently skipped medical ethics day. Meanwhile, cloud security is having its own stormy weather courtesy of a new Google Cloud report. Just because your data floats doesn't mean it's invincible—pack that security umbrella before lifting off to cloud nine. And who could forget academia, where not even the University of The Bahamas is safe from ransomware? Apparently, between homework assignments, students now get a practical lesson in crisis management. Finally, in the AI corner, nefarious forces leverage machine learning models with Hugging Face's vulnerable Pickle format—because every good espionage saga needs a pickle.
