Finland issues wanted notice for hacker behind massive psychotherapy data breach

Finnish authorities have issued a wanted notice for convicted hacker Aleksanteri Kivimäki, following a Supreme Court ruling, in connection with a massive data breach targeting psychotherapy provider Vastaamo. The breach, which occurred in 2018, exposed the private information of approximately 33,000 patients and led to extortion attempts against both the company and its vulnerable clients. Kivimäki has denied involvement, arguing that the prosecution relied on circumstantial evidence and disputed digital evidence.
