No Details Disclosed after Cyberattack at Pharmascience, Canada
INCIDENT
Largest Canadian-owned pharmaceutical company, Pharmascience, was the target of a cyberattack. The company confirmed that it had discovered an intrusion into its computer system on June 1 , but refused to provide details on the extent and duration of the attack.
The Montreal-based generic drug manufacturer – which offers more than 1,400 products – declined to confirm whether a ransom was demanded or paid, or whether data was stolen.
The company says it responded quickly by hiring cybersecurity experts, which helped "secure" its computer systems. "We have since resumed operations safely and effectively," the email sent to us reads.
