Massive Data Breach Exposes 6.5 Million Records at Investing.com

February 24, 2025

Investing.com has reportedly experienced a significant data breach, with a threat actor claiming to have accessed approximately 6.5 million user records by exploiting an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability. This breach, which allegedly remained active for about a week, resulted in the exposure of sensitive user data, including IDs, email addresses, and registration details. The perpetrator has shared examples of compromised records and indicated that the dataset, which includes information dating back to 2014, is available for sale on BreachForums. As of now, Investing.com has not issued an official response to the incident.

New Tool Identifies Frailty Risks in Older Adults Using EHR Data

February 24, 2025

Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a tool to assess frailty in older adults, utilizing electronic health records from over 500,000 patients. This tool classifies patients aged 60 and above into four categories—robust, pre-frail, frail, and very frail—based on 31 health deficits identified in their records. Published in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society, the findings indicate that very frail individuals are at a significantly higher risk of death and rehospitalization within 90 days compared to those classified as robust, aiding clinicians in managing high-risk patients even without comprehensive primary care records.

AI-Powered Tool Revolutionizes Fall Prevention in UCHealth Hospitals

February 20, 2025

UCHealth in Aurora, Colorado, has developed an AI-enhanced risk modeling tool to reduce patient falls in hospitals by providing customized prevention strategies. This system addresses the limitations of traditional fall prevention methods, like bed alarms, that can overwhelm healthcare staff. By utilizing mobility data and behavioral indicators, the model predicts fall risk and incorporates these assessments into the Epic electronic health records system. A multidisciplinary team identified 12 risk domains and 92 variables from over 181,000 inpatient admissions, ultimately creating a logistic regression classification that categorizes patients into three risk tiers: Highest Risk, Elevated Risk, and Universal Risk. The implementation of this model into clinical workflows emphasized the need for straightforward, actionable precautions that clinicians can easily understand and apply.
