SOLUMINA: break-in at the QLIFICA Monitoring clinical trial system; user account data may have leaked

The QLIFICA Monitoring cloud system for clinical trials, provided by SOLUMINA, was accessed without authorization. After learning of it, SOLUMINA stopped the service and is investigating how the attacker got in and what data left. User Kyushu University disclosed it on 28 October 2026; no notice by SOLUMINA has been found yet. [1]

Names, departments, email addresses, login IDs and password hashes of 9 Kyushu University Hospital staff may have leaked. Whether the 9 are among the data actually taken is under investigation. So far there is no sign that patient or trial subject data, sensitive personal data or business data were taken. [1]

Kyushu University briefed the staff concerned and asked them to change the same password on other services. It reported to its CSIRT and the Personal Information Protection Commission and is asking the contractor for the cause and preventive measures. [1]
