Threat Risk: Medium
Victim: Clover Health (Healthcare Organization)
Incident: Unauthorized access to company applications via stolen employee credentials.
Impact: Exposure of personal information for approximately 138,677 individuals.
Attacker: Unidentified threat actors
Analysis: The incident occurred when threat actors compromised the login credentials of three non-managerial employees to gain access to internal applications and network servers.
