Ex-CIA Officer: During Summit, China And Russia Were Surely Spying – Worldwide
In Singapore this week, Russia and China were not included in President Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but they were surely mounting their own full-court espionage press. Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin were undoubtedly directing their intelligence services to collect as much information as possible on the talks between the U.S. and North Korea, including the key participants and their teams. Below the surface, not visible to casual visitors and officials, Singapore was likely crawling with Russian and Chinese spies. Russia and China likely deployed sophisticated human and electronic intelligence – from bugging hotel rooms to seeking contact with U.S. and North Korean officials – with an eye towards eliciting intelligence. Both China and Russia have highly developed offensive cyber capabilities, which would enable them to hack into mobile phones, computers and other technical devices. China and Russia will continue their espionage as future U.S. negotiations with North Korea and possible follow-on summits take place.

Data Breach At Dignity Health Affected 56,000 Patients – California, United States
Federal health officials are investigating an April data breach that affected 55,947 patients of Dignity Health, a major health system headquartered in San Francisco that operates 39 hospitals and 400 care centers in California, Nevada and Arizona. The breach occurred April 24 and was reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on May 31. It was the third-largest data breach, by number of affected patients, reported to the federal health agency that month. The incident is being reviewed by the department’s Office for Civil Rights, which investigates breaches of protected health information that affect at least 500 people. The office did not return a request for comment Tuesday. Dignity said the problem originated from an email list formatted by one of its vendors, the online appointment scheduling site Healthgrades, which contained a sorting error. The error resulted in Dignity inadvertently sending misaddressed emails to patients that contained the wrong patient’s name and, in some cases, the patient’s doctor’s name. Each misaddressed email was sent to one person.

Cyber Attack On Campaign Site Triggers Election Nerves – Mexico
The website of a Mexican political opposition party was hit by a cyber-attack during Tuesday’s final television debate between presidential candidates ahead of the July 1 vote, after the site had published documents critical of the leading candidate. The National Action Party (PAN) said that its website, targeting front-runner Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, likely suffered a distributed denial of service (DDoS) cyber-attack with the bulk of traffic to the site nominally coming from Russia and China.
