Litany Of The Hacked: May 2026 Wrap-Up

Spring is over, back to the grind.

The litany of the hacked is our listing for each known/reported hack in the previous month. The point of the litany is not shame but awareness-raising that, well, these sorts of things happen.

And so, the litany of the hacked for May 2026:

San Diego Community College…Canvas (technically, Instructure; Canvas is the product)…WhatsApp accounts of some US military personnel…Medtronic…Cushman & Wakefield…Trellix…MediaWorks…supply chains for NVIDIA…Foxconn…West Pharmaceutical…GitHub…7-Eleven…Charter Communications...Lithuanian government offices...Hartford HealthCare...various Microsoft products (via routers)...

Attacks via vendors continue to be problematic -- for you & your company. The law and & insurance  worlds are starting to notice. Here's how Cynthia Kaiser puts it: "Ask your security and tech teams this week: 'If our top three vendors were hit with ransomware tomorrow, what data of ours would be at risk? Do our contracts require them to tell us?'

Now with Mythos out of the cage, and with OpenAI releasing a comparable product, the future of cybersecurity is here now. And so are the hacks.

Ask us how you can avoid joining the litany.
