The first involves the ShinyHunters extortion gang, which claims to have breached Abbott's Cancer Diagnostics (legacy Exact Sciences) systems via a vishing attack targeting employee Microsoft Entra SSO accounts in mid-June. ShinyHunters alleges it stole over 30 million rows of customer PII, 22 million doctor-patient notes, 20 million medical orders, and more than one million Social Security numbers. Abbott confirmed unauthorized access to a limited number of internal systems but says it does not expect material business impact. The second incident involves a threat actor called ShadowByt3$, who claims to have breached Abbott's LabCentral customer portal on July 4 using compromised credentials, exfiltrating technical and regulatory documents. Abbott disputes the sensitivity of the data, saying LabCentral only contains publicly available product documentation. Neither threat actor has publicly released the allegedly stolen data. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
