March 19 – The ESHYFT data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company allegedly left a database unsecured and accessible to the public. The ESHYFT data breach resulted in the potential exposure of confidential information of certain individuals being compromised. It is believed to have impacted as many as 86,000 individuals based on the records discovered in the database.
According to cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler, ESHYFT experienced a data breach after an unsecured database containing over 86,000 records was discovered on the internet. The database was reportedly neither password-protected nor encrypted, allowing anyone who discovered it to freely access all information contained within. While evidence suggests the database belonged to ESHYFT, it may have been managed by a third-party vendor working with the company.
As of this writing, ESHYFT has not yet confirmed the breach or sent out data breach letters to potentially affected individuals. The company will likely need to conduct an investigation to determine what information was exposed and who it belonged to before sending official notifications.
ESHYFT is a healthcare staffing platform headquartered in Howell, New Jersey that connects healthcare facilities with nursing professionals across 29 states.
