Recent news
most recent scored articles · the chip is the article’s score · click to openA hacking group claims to have stolen millions of patient health records during a cyberattack on McKesson, a major U.S. pharmaceutical distribution company, last week.
McKesson has agreed to buy privately held Precision Medicine Group for about $2.25 billion. Precision Medicine provides clinical research, laboratory testing, and services that help biotech and pharmaceutical companies launch new medicines.
Law firm Ademi LLP announced it is investigating potential data privacy claims against McKesson related to a data breach, examining whether the company maintained reasonable safeguards to protect personal information.
McKesson has disclosed a cybersecurity incident where someone gained unauthorized access to third-party applications used by the company and stole data. The extortion group ShinyHunters is claiming responsibility and says it took 284 million patient records.
McKesson told the SEC that it had a cybersecurity incident and that an investigation is in the early stages. The company said the impact has not yet been determined to be material.
