CMS and the Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corp. are notifying almost 947,000 individuals that some of their protected health information was compromised in a May 2023 security breach. The security breach involved the exploitation of a zero day vulnerability in Progress Software's MOVEit software, which was used by WPS for transferring files in connection with the services provided to the CMS. The vulnerability was discovered by Progress Software and a patch was issued on May 31, 2023, to fix the vulnerability; however, the Cl0p ransomware group had already mass exploited the vulnerability and stole files from thousands of MOVEit users in what was the biggest hack of 2023.
It is a surprising revitalization for a company many in the tech industry had dismissed as a dinosaur of a bygone, precloud era. Oracle appears to be successfully making a case to investors that it has become a strong fourth-place player in a cloud market surging thanks to AI.
The usual approach to protecting the public and helping doctors and hospitals manage new healthcare technologies won't work for generative AI. To realize the full clinical benefits of this technology while minimizing its risks, we will need a regulatory approach as innovative as generative AI itself. The reasons lie in the nature of the FDA's regulatory process and of this remarkable new technology. Generally speaking, the FDA requires producers of new drugs and devices to demonstrate that they are safe and effective for very specific clinical purposes. Why won't this well-established framework work for generative AI? The large language models (LLMs) that power products like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are capable of responding to almost any type of question, in healthcare and beyond. In other words, they have not one specific healthcare use but tens of thousands, and subjecting them to traditional pre-market assessments of safety and efficacy for each of those potential applications would require untold numbers of expensive and time-consuming studies.
A proximity resilience graph offers a more accurate representation of risk than heat maps and risk registers, and allows CISOs to tell a complex story in a single visualization.
A systematic review into the potential health effects from radio wave exposure has shown mobile phones are not linked to brain cancer. The review was commissioned by the WHO.
