Poland probes MyDr healthcare software breach potentially affecting 19 million people
Poland investigates a breach at healthcare software firm MyDr potentially exposing data of nearly 19 million people and over 12,000 medical facilities.
Polish healthcare software provider MyDr disclosed a cyberattack that may have exposed personal and medical data belonging to nearly 19 million people and more than 12,000 medical facilities. Hackers obtained unauthorized access to historical data held through April 2024, but the company has found no evidence the data has been published. As a precaution, Poland's e-Health Center is replacing digital certificates used by medical systems to connect to the national P1 e-health platform. The Personal Data Protection Office plans to inspect MyDr and security agencies are working to identify those responsible; no threat actor has been attributed.
- Unverified claims to Polish media suggest stolen data includes names, birth dates, ID numbers and prescription information.
- The e-Health Center is rotating digital certificates for P1 connections even though no certificate theft was found.
- Officials say P1 and Poland's public healthcare systems remain secure and operational.
- Separately, convenience chain Żabka disclosed an intrusion via a third-party contractor account; a connection to MyDr is unclear.
