UK Biobank prepares to reopen research platform after data breach
Original: UK Biobank prepares to reopen research platform following major data breach
UK Biobank is preparing to reopen its research platform following a major data breach. The biomedical database, which holds genetic and health data from around half a million UK volunteers, had restricted access while the incident was investigated. Details about the breach, including how many participants were affected and what data was exposed, have not been fully disclosed.
Why now: Unclear, but likely renewed attention as a major health data provider resumes operations after a security incident.
