Novocure data breach affects more than 1,400 cancer patients

Novocure, a healthtech company specializing in cancer treatment, suffered a cyberattack in mid-August that led to unauthorized access to its information systems. The breach exposed data of over 1,400 U.S. cancer patients, including patient ID numbers, and for fewer than 50 patients, identifying and healthcare provider contact information. Employee contact details and job titles were also accessed, though no medical devices were compromised and systems remain operational. The company is assessing regulatory obligations and has not disclosed the breach vector or whether ransom demands were made.
