Boston Scientific’s global operations have been disrupted in a cyberattack on its IT systems.

The medtech giant said it discovered the incident on 25 August. “The incident has impacted access to certain operating systems and business applications, including the ability to process and ship customer orders,” it said in a statement published yesterday (26 August).

The $69bn company expects further disruption while it works to restore affected systems. A probe into the attack is ongoing, but no concrete timeline has emerged yet, it added.

The company said that it is unaware, as of yet, whether this incident might have any material impact on its business. Shares fell more than 3pc at market close yesterday and gained marginally in after-hours trading.
