A cyberattack on a Florida healthcare firm exposed the personal information of 246,711 people.

A data breach notification submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicates hackers accessed Medical Associates of Brevard’s network server.

The medical group says impacted information includes names, dates of birth, social security numbers, driver’s license/state ID numbers, medical treatment information and health insurance information.

Medical Associates of Brevard also notes that “a limited number of individuals” had their financial account information exposed, though the firm does not specify how many.

The medical group says it took immediate steps to secure the impacted systems and investigate the nature and scope of the Incident, with assistance from third-party experts. It also claims it “found no evidence that information was misused as a result of this incident.”

Medical Associates of Brevard says it is providing 12 months of free credit monitoring to impacted individuals “out of an abundance of caution.”

The firm also claims it takes data security seriously despite the breach.

“We treat all sensitive information in a confidential manner and are proactive in the careful handling of such information. Since the Incident, we have implemented a series of cybersecurity enhancements and will soon roll out others.”

Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security

The post Solana co-founder urges need for Bitcoin to adopt quantum resistance for future security appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko is urging the Bitcoin community to begin transitioning to quantum-resistant security measures, warning that advances in quantum computing may arrive faster than expected. Speaking during a Sept. 18 session at the All-In Summit, said the accelerating pace of technological breakthroughs means Bitcoin should not wait until the threat is imminent. According to him: “We should migrate Bitcoin to a quantum-resistant signature scheme. This is my bet, and it’s because so many technologies are converging right now, and this asymptotic rate of AI and how fast it’s accelerating—going from a research paper to an implementation—is astounding. So I would try to encourage folks to speed things up.” Yakovenko’s position is unsurprising, as market concerns over Bitcoin’s vulnerability to quantum-powered attacks have gained momentum following companies like Google reporting advances in the space. Considering this, he argued that these major tech firms’ adoption of quantum-resistant cryptography should signal the right time for Bitcoin to migrate its security architecture. The Solana co-founder furthered: “My key for this is Google and Apple adopting a quantum-resistant cryptographic stack. This is the time to go migrate, because now the consumer side of it is effectively solved and you don’t have to kind of wait. So you watch where Google’s going.” However, despite Yakovenko’s warnings, industry experts remain split on the technological advancements timeline as some argue that breakthroughs could occur within this decade, while others contend that the risks remain distant. Regardless of when its implementation occurs, Yakovenko stressed that the technology would be both a challenge and an opportunity. He said: “For the general public, quantum computing is such a massive unlock in terms of how much we can process that it’s going to be as big of a wealth creator, if we pull it off, as AI.” Bitcoin remains resilient…
