Amgen disclosed a cybersecurity incident in which hackers stole patient health information and proprietary corporate data from cloud storage systems operated by third-party providers.
The breach involved exfiltration of protected patient health information, proprietary data, and other sensitive information from multiple third-party cloud environments.
Amgen has activated its cybersecurity response plan, contained the incident, and is investigating with third-party experts; it does not believe the incident will materially affect its financial condition or operations.
The biotech company is evaluating legal and regulatory notification requirements and will notify affected patients as required, though no specific patient count or timeline for notification has yet been disclosed.
