Security News > 2023 > February > Drug distributor AmerisourceBergen confirms security breach
Pharmaceutical distributor AmerisourceBergen confirmed that hackers compromised the IT system of one of its subsidiaries after threat actors began leaking allegedly stolen data.
AmerisourceBergen is a pharmaceutical product distributor, medical business consultant, and patient services provider.
As first reported by security researcher Dominic Alvieri, the Lorenz ransomware gang ended a lengthy period of silence by listing AmerisourceBergen and their allegedly stolen data on its extortion site.
AmerisourceBergen confirmed the attack to BleepingComputer, stating that the intrusion was contained and they are investigating whether the incident has resulted in the compromise of sensitive data.
The Lorenz ransomware group has posted all files allegedly stolen from AmerisourceBergen and MWI Animal Health, presumably the subsidiary that was breached.
It is important to note that while the leaked files appear genuine, AmerisourceBergen has not yet confirmed these files were stolen from its networks.
