London Drugs says hackers have started releasing some stolen data, after the company refused to pay a $25 million ransom.
From CTV News:
"Retailer London Drugs says cybercriminals who stole files from its corporate head office last month have released some of the data after it refused to pay a ransom.
The Richmond, B.C.-based company says in a statement the files may contain "some employee information," calling it a "deeply distressing" situation.
London Drugs was responding to a social media post by Brett Callow, a B.C.-based threat analyst with anti-virus software company Emsisoft, which said the hacking group LockBit had released what it claimed was the company's data.
Lockbit has been described by British authorities as "the world's most harmful cybercrime group."
Welp!! Hopefully no one gets harmed by this...
