Blueberry Pediatrics discloses health data theft through Metabase flaw.

Blueberry Pediatrics discloses health data theft through Metabase flaw. Blueberry Medical has disclosed a data breach in which an attacker exploited a Metabase vulnerability to steal patient information, including children's medical records and health insurance details. The healthcare provider discovered the unauthorized access on August 22, 2026. A separate public statement places the initial intrusion on August 10, when the attacker gained administrator access to Blueberry's Metabase environment. According to the notification, Blueberry used the business intelligence platform for reporting and data analysis. The attacker exploited a previously unknown vulnerability to access the environment and copy certain patient data. Blueberry operates a pediatric telehealth service that gives families round-the-clock access to board-certified pediatricians through its app. Its service combines remote consultations with an at-home medical kit, allowing parents to submit pictures, videos, and measurements to support diagnosis. Medical and insurance information exposed. The notification includes versions addressed to patients and to parents or guardians of affected children. Information potentially exposed includes: * Full names * Dates of birth * Health plan names and policy numbers * Medical records * Dates of service * Medical codes * Service charges Blueberry says Social Security numbers and payment information were not involved. Photos and videos used by clinicians for diagnosis were stored separately and were not compromised. The disclosed data nevertheless includes sensitive details about patients' healthcare and insurance coverage. Such information could potentially help criminals make fraudulent messages appear credible, particularly if they impersonate a healthcare provider or insurer. Neither the attached notification nor Blueberry's public statement specifies how many patients were affected. Attack exploited an analytics platform. Metabase's own investigation traced the broader incident to August 3, when a cloud customer reported an API key created outside normal working hours. The vendor identified a flaw in its password-reset flow that allowed attackers to inject SQL commands into the application database. In the observed attacks, attackers used this to create an administrator session and an API key that enabled bulk data downloads. Metabase released patched versions on August 6. It later reported that fewer than 3% of its cloud customers were compromised before patching, and that some users were running publicly accessible, self-hosted installations. Blueberry says it terminated unauthorized access and associated sessions within about an hour of detection, preserved evidence, and confirmed its Metabase environment was running a non-vulnerable version by then. It also contacted law enforcement and hired a forensic cybersecurity firm. The company has since strengthened authentication, added monitoring and escalation procedures for critical vendor vulnerabilities, and increased security reviews of third-party and self-hosted infrastructure. Affected families should review healthcare and insurance statements for unfamiliar services and treat unsolicited requests referencing their medical information cautiously. Verify unexpected communications directly with the provider or insurer using established contact details. Blueberry also recommends monitoring account statements and credit reports.

Wallet owners face multiple threats.

Wallet owners face multiple threats. Trezor's own systems were not breached, and devices, private keys and wallet backups are untouched. The danger is that the records identify confirmed hardware wallet owners at specific front doors. Alongside fake emails, calls and letters, Trezor warned affected customers about risks to their physical security, and repeated that a wallet backup should never be shared or typed into a website. Owners of both Trezor and rival hardware wallet Ledger were already receiving forged letters in February, printed with holograms, QR codes and forged executive signatures, demanding they activate a fictitious security check or lose access to their wallets. At the time, cybercrime consultant David Sehyeon Baek told Decrypt that a letter carrying a name and home address signals "we can locate you," and that stolen data stays useful for years because people rarely move or change their numbers. The intrusion traces to a critical SQL injection flaw in the analytics tool Metabase, disclosed on August 6, which let unauthenticated attackers steal credentials for connected databases. Laptop maker Framework and form builder Tally were caught in the same wave. ShipMonk has reportedly received extortion emails attributed to ShinyHunters, though that attribution remains unconfirmed. Trezor said it is working to ship anonymous delivery as quickly as possible, an option using locker pickup, neutral packaging and generic sender details so that buyers need not hand over a home address at all.

Ticket resale platform Tixel warns users of data breach in Metabase zero-day attack.

Ticket resale platform Tixel warns users of data breach in Metabase zero-day attack. Surprisingly useful AI article enhancements. Melbourne-based ticket resale platform, Tixel, has notified users that their email addresses and mobile numbers may have been accessed after an attacker exploited a zero-day vulnerability in its third-party analytics provider, Metabase. Tixel told affected users that the incident occurred inside Metabase's systems, not within the Tixel platform itself. "Our website and account systems were not breached," the company stated in a notification sent to users. No passwords, credit card details, payment information or purchase history were involved in the incident, according to the company. Part of a wider Metabase breach. The Tixel disclosure is the latest in a growing list of companies affected by a critical SQL injection vulnerability in Metabase that was exploited as a zero-day, impacting versions 1.58 and above. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-72898, carries a CVSS severity score of 10.0 - the highest possible rating. It affects the password-reset functionality and can be reached through the publicly accessible POST /api/session/reset_password endpoint, allowing a remote attacker to inject SQL into the Metabase application database without authenticating. Metabase CEO, Sameer Al-Sakran, warned in a blog post that the company's cloud platform had been compromised through the previously unknown flaw. Metabase confirmed that attackers were actively exploiting the vulnerability against real-world environments. Metabase is an open-source business intelligence and data visualisation tool that customers can connect to databases including Databricks, MongoDB, Oracle, Snowflake, Amazon and BigQuery, among others, to access analytics, query and visualise data, and build dashboards. What was accessed. In its notification to users, Tixel indicated that the breach was limited in scope. "Our investigation with Metabase indicates your email address and mobile number may have been accessed as part of this incident," the company stated. Tixel confirmed that user accounts, including any tickets or listings, were unaffected. The company warned users to watch for phishing and spam as a result of the exposure. "Be cautious of any unexpected message about your tickets, orders or account," Tixel advised. "If a message feels off, don't click anything in it - go straight to tixel.com or contact us." Tixel also reminded users that it would never ask for passwords or payment details by email or text, and would never direct payments outside tixel.com. Remediation steps. Tixel stated that it changed the keys connecting its systems to Metabase, checked for any further access - finding none - and strengthened its security and data-handling practices. On Metabase's side, the company blocked the endpoints used for the attack, then identified and patched the vulnerability. Metabase Cloud customers had their instances upgraded and patched automatically. Metabase has also engaged an independent forensic firm and notified relevant authorities and regulators, according to Tixel's notification. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue, requiring federal agencies to apply fixes by 14 August 2026. Other companies affected. Tixel is not alone in disclosing a breach stemming from the Metabase vulnerability. Several companies have already confirmed they were affected, including Kilo Code, Tally, Framework, n8n and ChecklyHQ, with stolen data including usernames, emails, API keys and Slack tokens across various incidents. Laptop manufacturer, Framework, disclosed that attackers accessed names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses and login IP addresses through its compromised Metabase cloud instance, though payment information and order records were not affected. Workflow automation platform, n8n, confirmed that 136 records containing names and email addresses were accessed across its user base. Scale of exposure. Roughly 2,500 Metabase instances are estimated to be internet-exposed, and about 25 per cent of self-hosted cloud deployments are fully accessible online. Dataminr's threat research team conducted a broad exposure assessment on 8 August, with approximately 11,000 hosts observed as probable self-hosted Metabase deployments. Tixel directed users with further questions to [email protected] and pointed to the Australian Cyber Security Centre at cyber.gov.au and the ACCC's Scamwatch at scamwatch.gov.au for general online safety guidance. About tixel. Tixel is a Melbourne-based ticket resale marketplace founded in 2017. The platform operates as a fan-to-fan marketplace for buying and selling tickets to concerts, festivals and events, with AI-powered fraud detection and price caps that prevent scalping. Unlike some resale platforms, Tixel caps resale prices at 110 per cent of face value, verifies tickets before transfer and works with event organisers to provide a secondary market.
