Rite Aid has disclosed a data breach that affected 2.2 million individuals, with attackers stealing personal information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, and ID numbers associated with driver's licenses. The breach, detected on June 6, involved data from purchases made between June 6, 2017, and July 30, 2018. RansomHub, the group claiming responsibility, stated they took 10 GB of data, including Rite Aid rewards numbers. The pharmacy chain is offering 12 months of credit monitoring to affected individuals and is enhancing security measures. RansomHub, a rising cybercrime group, has targeted other high-profile entities like Christie's and Frontier Communications. The negotiations for payment between Rite Aid and the extortionists have reportedly broken down. The incident underscores the ongoing threat of cyberattacks and the importance of robust data protection measures.
