The Tsar Team hacking group recently stole hundreds of patients’ personal data from a plastic surgery clinic in Lithuania: names, surnames, personal identity codes, pre-op and intimate photos.

A parallel investigation into the clinic’s affairs uncovered that it didn’t take all the necessary precautions to protect patients’ data.
