Security News > 2024 > May > LockBit says they stole data in London Drugs ransomware attack
Today, the LockBit ransomware gang claimed they were behind the April cyberattack on Canadian pharmacy chain London Drugs and is now threatening to publish stolen data online after allegedly failed negotiations.
Earlier today, the LockBit ransomware operation added London Drugs to its extortion portal, claiming the April cyberattack and threatening to publish data allegedly stolen from the company's systems.
The ransomware gang has yet to provide proof that they stole any files from London Drugs servers, claiming only that negotiations with London Drugs to pay a $25 million ransom have failed.
While it didn't confirm LockBit's claims, a London Drugs statement shared with BleepingComputer says the company is aware the ransomware gang said they stole "Files from its corporate head office, some of which may contain employee information"-as seen in the screenshot above LockBit only mentioned "Stolen data."
London Drugs added that they will not and cannot pay the ransom requested by LockBit, but acknowledged that the gang "May leak stolen London Drugs corporate files, some of which may contain employee information on the Dark Web.".
The U.S. State Department now offers a $10 million reward for information leading to LockBit leadership arrest or conviction and an additional $5 million for any tips that could lead to the apprehension of LockBit ransomware affiliates.
