AZ Monica
January 13, 2026
•[ cyberattack, operational disruption, healthcare ]
AZ Monica hospital in Antwerp reported a cyberattack discovered around 6:30 a.m. after staff observed a serious IT failure. As a precaution, the hospital shut down all servers across both campuses (Deurne and Antwerp/Harmonie), and law enforcement opened an investigation with the cyber crime unit on site. Because clinicians could not access electronic patient records, the hospital postponed non-urgent care and maintained emergency care at a reduced level. Reporting stated at least 70 planned operations were cancelled, roughly 70 patients were sent home, and seven patients were transferred to other hospitals as a precaution. Public reporting did not confirm encryption, ransom demands, or data theft, focusing primarily on operational disruption and patient-care impact.

January 13, 2026
•[ Data Leak, Cybercrime, Alleged Breach ]
Reporting stated that a forum user using the alias dk0m offered for sale what was described as a large dataset of Armenian government-related data, allegedly obtained by accessing a government notification system used to distribute official communications (legal and administrative notices). The seller advertised the dataset for $2,500 and claimed it contained about 8 million records related to official notifications, including communications involving police and judicial bodies. Armenian officials opened an investigation, while a government-linked communications body publicly denied that government email infrastructure was breached and suggested any access may have involved another state platform. Because the incident is described as an allegation under investigation without independent confirmation of access or data theft, it is recorded as an alleged event rather than a confirmed cyberattack.

•[ malware, cyberattack, data leak ]
DataBreaches reported on a class action lawsuit alleging that a Manhattan plastic surgery practice run by Dr. Richard Swift was compromised by a malware-related cyberattack in 2025 and that sensitive patient information was posted online.
