The incident originated on **October 17, 2023**, when malware disrupted Medjet’s computer network, potentially exposing **client data**. While the exact number of impacted individuals and the specific types of compromised information (e.g., personal, financial, or health-related details) remain undisclosed, the breach poses risks of identity theft or fraud.
