- Veradigm: once is happenstance, twice is coincidence? Not in security.
A third-party vendor's environment was compromised; the attacker took that vendor's credentials to a Veradigm patient-facing API and downloaded patient personal data, Social Security numbers in some records, no clinical data. The filing says the credentials reached only that interface, not the broader environment, and calls it not reasonably likely to be material. A ransomware group called The Gentlemen claims 3.5 million records on its leak site; Veradigm hasn't corroborated, so unconfirmed.
Here's the kicker it's the second time. The December 2024 Veradigm breach also used someone else's legitimate credential, a customer's that time, into a storage account. 2,672,036 people, a $10.5 million settlement that started paying out in June. The 2026 one used a vendor's credential into an API. Both times the system worked exactly as designed for the identity presented to it. That's the whole vendor-posture thesis in one company: your security is only as good as the credentials you've handed to people you don't control, and "not material" was presumably the read last time too.
