Security News > 2023 > November > BlackCat ransomware claims breach of healthcare giant Henry Schein
The BlackCat ransomware gang claims it breached the network of healthcare giant Henry Schein and stole dozens of terabytes of data, including payroll data and shareholder information.
Henry Schein is a healthcare solutions provider and a Fortune 500 company with operations and affiliates in 32 countries and revenue of over $12 billion in 2022.
Henry Schein notified relevant law enforcement authorities of the incident and has since hired external cybersecurity and forensics experts to investigate a potential data breach stemming from the attack.
In a letter published one week after disclosing the cyberattack, the healthcare services provider urged customers to place orders through their Henry Schein representative or using dedicated telesales phone numbers.
Almost two weeks later, the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware group has added Henry Schein to its dark web leak site, claiming that they breached the company's network and stole 35 TB of sensitive files.
The gang claims they encrypted the company's devices again just as Henry Schein almost finished restoring all its systems because ongoing negotiations failed.
