Fusion42 · 9 October 2026 · Fusion42 review

Biosensor firm iRhythm suffered a data breach in June affecting at least 360,000 patients, with hackers accessing sensitive personal and health information via third-party systems without impacting its medical devices or operations.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Medtech, and 2 sources have reported it between 2 Oct 2026 and 9 Oct 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Data breach controls for medical device firms have become a compliance hotspot you must address immediately to avoid regulatory and reputational damage. Security in third-party apps is no longer optional for patient data custodians like you.
