CHICAGO : US medical laboratory operator Quest Diagnostics said it learned of a cyber breach of one of its systems this week, likely compromising some records for patients.

In a Thursday (Oct 22) regulatory filing, Quest Diagnostics reported "unauthorised access” to its Quanum Lab Services Manager, a platform where certain clients can place test orders and receive or look up their results. The company said it discovered the hack on Oct 21 and notified US federal law enforcement.
