The hack-and-leak group FulcrumSec has claimed responsibility for hacking the Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk.
The incident was disclosed late last week, when the company warned patients that hackers had accessed its internal IT systems and exfiltrated certain data associated with clinical trials.
According to the pharma giant, the stolen information was pseudonymized and could not be directly linked to patients by name or identifiers.
“Knowledge of patient identity would require access to further information, which was not part of the incident,” the company said.
While no known cybercrime group has publicly claimed responsibility for the attack, FulcrumSec contacted DataBreaches to boast about hacking Novo Nordisk.
