Brightline, Inc. is a provider of virtual mental health services for members of Stanford University's various health plans. Recently, Brightline announced that one of their vendors, Forta, found that there had been unauthorized activity in some of their software. When they investigated, they found that customer data had been accessed and taken. Stanford University is a famous, large private research university based out of Stanford, California. Stanford University has a well-regarded reputation for breakthroughs in technology such as computer science and biomedical engineering.

• Names,

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds.
