   Top California sperm bank suffers embarrassing leak

   Description:   
   Someone stole sensitive data from California Cryobank, including names, bank   
   accounts, and more.   
      
   FULL STORY   
      
   One of the largest sperm banks in the United States has suffered a    
   cyberattack in which it lost sensitive customer data.    
      
   California Cryobank confirmed the news in a filing with the Maine Office of   
   the Attorney General, as well as in a data breach notification letter being   
   sent out to affected individuals.    
      
   In the notification letter, the company said that it detected suspicious   
   activity on its network on April 21, 2024, and isolated potentially affected   
   devices from the network.   
      
   What about Donor IDs?    
      
   "Through our investigation, CCB determined that an unauthorized party gained   
   access to our IT environment and may have accessed and/or acquired files   
   maintained on certain computer systems between April 20, 2024 and April 22,   
   2024," the letter says.    
      
   California Cryobank is a sperm and egg bank that provides reproductive   
   services, including sperm donation, egg freezing, and genetic screening. It    
   is among the largest sperm banks in the United States, offering a diverse   
   range of donors and services, and operating in all 50 states and more that    
   two dozen countries around the world.    
      
   A more thorough investigation, which lasted almost a year, CCB concluded that   
   different personal data was exposed for customers, such as names, bank   
   accounts and routing numbers, Social Security numbers, driver's license   
   numbers, payment card numbers, and/or health insurance information. It did    
   not say how many people were affected.    
      
   It is unclear if donor information, such as donor ID numbers, was stolen in   
   the attack, as well. When a person donates sperm, they are assigned an ID   
   number, and their identity remains hidden until the child turns 18 and    
   decides to learn more about their biological father. Leaking ID numbers could   
   be a major privacy concern.    
      
   The company has offered a years worth of credit monitoring to people whose   
   Social Security numbers and drivers license numbers were exposed in the   
   attack.
