Cataloged incident. Intuitive Surgical disclosed a cybersecurity incident on March 12, 2026. Attackers conducted a targeted phishing campaign to steal an employee's credentials, then used those credentials for unauthorized access to internal IT business applications—consistent with a broader intrusion into corporate systems rather than a single mailbox event. Exposed: customer business and contact information, employee and corporate records. Total number of affected individuals not publicly quantified. Da Vinci and Ion robotic surgica Exposed categories include Employee information, customer contact data, business records (per disclosure). No attested victim count is published for this row yet.
