Biotechnology company Amgen disclosed that attackers stole patient and corporate data from multiple cloud systems run by third-party providers, rather than from its own servers. In a securities filing, Amgen said it detected the intrusion in July, confirmed data was exfiltrated, and determined the incident material based on the volume and sensitivity of affected files. Confirmed stolen data includes proprietary company information and patient protected health information, and the company is still assessing whether intellectual property, research and development data, and further patient records were taken. Operations, product supply, and financial systems were not disrupted. Amgen has not named a provider, entry point, or responsible party.
Xsolis, a US healthcare technology company whose AI software is used by more than 600 hospitals and insurers for utilization management and reimbursement decisions, has disclosed a breach affecting 1,396,519 people. Attackers got in through a targeted phishing attack on an employee in January, accessing files containing patient data Xsolis handles for its clients. The exposed information includes names, dates of birth, addresses, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and medical treatment information. Because Xsolis is a vendor, affected individuals may never have dealt with it directly; downstream health systems including Mayo Clinic are among those whose patients are impacted.
