Far-Reaching Disruptions Follow Data Breaches in Optometry and Agriculture Industries
Cyberattacks were reported in two very different industries last month, highlighting the ongoing risk of digital disruptions for businesses and consumers.
First, Delaware-based Simon Eye Management, a chain of clinics that provides eye exams, eyeglasses, and optometry evaluations, reported a hack that occurred in May 2021 and exposed the private health information of more than 144,000 individuals. New Jersey-based USV Optical Inc., a division of US Vision, also reported a breach that compromised servers and systems at the company, along with the private health information of another 175,000 patients, between April 20 and May 17, 2021.
