2023-11-27 19:44

American healthcare company Henry Schein has reported a second cyberattack this month by the BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware gang, who also breached their network in October.

Henry Schein is a Fortune 500 healthcare products and services provider with operations and affiliates in 32 countries and a revenue of over $12 billion reported in 2022.

"Certain Henry Schein applications, including its ecommerce platform, are currently unavailable. The Company continues to take orders using alternate means and continues to ship to its customers," it said.

The BlackCat ransomware gang added Henry Schein to its dark web leak site, saying it breached the company's network and allegedly stole 35 terabytes of sensitive data.

According to the cybercrime operation, they re-encrypted the company's devices after negotiations faltered towards the end of October while Henry Schein was on the verge of restoring its systems.

A Henry Schein spokesperson has yet to respond to BleepingComputer's requests for comment regarding the cyberattacks disclosed this month.
