Hackers Tried to Hold Brazil's COVID-19 Vaccine Data to Ransom

The attack was revealed on Dec. 10 when the Ministry of Health website's homepage was replaced by an image from Lapsus$ Group claiming the ministry would have to contact the hackers to restore the data the group had stolen, copied, and deleted from its networks.

ZDNet reports that Lapsus$ Group targeted the ConecteSUS app Brazilians can use to "view their clinical history," per a translated version of the app's website, including "vaccines applied, COVID-19 laboratory tests performed, hospitalizations, medicines dispensed," and other data.
