Late last month, a major cybersecurity breach at pharmacy chain London Drugs shut down all 79 stores for several days. The Canadian company is now reportedly facing a $25-million ransom for employee data.
The electronic files were stolen from London Drugs’ corporate office on April 28 and are being held by a “sophisticated group of global cybercriminals”, the company confirmed to the Times Colonist.
In an internal memo obtained by Global News, London Drugs informed employees that they are “not yet able to provide any specifics on the nature of employee personal information potentially impacted… This is because there are a large number of unstructured corporate files that are not in consistent format and each must be individually reviewed.”
