Employee benefits platform Paylogix says hackers stole financial and health

Akira ransomware gang stole financial, health, and passport data on tens of thousands of people from benefits administrator Paylogix in November.

Hackers stole files from Paylogix's network between November 13 and 18, exposing Social Security numbers, financial accounts, health insurance information, medical data, passport numbers, and taxpayer IDs. State breach notices report at least 67,789 affected people, including 64,383 in South Carolina. Paylogix did not name the attackers but appeared on the Akira ransomware gang's leak site in January. The company notified federal law enforcement, is cooperating with an investigation, and faces organizing class action lawsuits.

University of Texas forced to take systems offline in San Antonio after cyberattack

University of Texas at San Antonio took phones and other systems offline after detecting threat activity, with no evidence of data theft.

The University of Texas at San Antonio, which serves 40,000 students across six campuses, detected threat activity at the edge of its academic network over the weekend and took systems including phones offline. Its CTO said the activity was contained before reaching core systems and that the investigation found no evidence of data access or exfiltration. Mandatory password resets for students and teachers were ordered but delayed, and the student payment deadline was extended to Friday as classes begin Wednesday. No hacking group has claimed credit, and universities are frequently targeted around academic calendar transitions.
