London Drugs Hit by $25M Ransomware Attack: Refuses to Pay Cybercriminals
London Drugs suffered a ransomware attack, forcing store closures and a $25 million ransom demand from the cybercriminal group LockBit. The company refused to pay, instead offering employees two years of free identity theft protection and credit monitoring services.
Hot Take:
London Drugs is now the proud recipient of the “Worst Pharmacy Experience of the Year” award, thanks to LockBit’s latest ransomware escapade. While they may not be curing cyber-hangovers anytime soon, at least their pharmacists are standing by to help with the real ones!
Key Points:
- London Drugs hit by a ransomware attack from the notorious LockBit group.
- Stores temporarily shut down across Western Canada due to the attack.
- LockBit demanded $25 million, but the company refused to pay.
- Employee data possibly compromised, but customer data seems safe for now.
- Free identity theft protection and credit monitoring offered to employees.
