Hackers recently accessed Amgen’s cloud environment, stealing sensitive patient health information and proprietary company data, the company disclosed in a securities filing on Friday. According to a securities filing (PDF), Amgen identified unauthorized activity in its cloud storage systems hosted by external service providers in July. The California company activated its cybersecurity response plan and initiated containment measures. Still, a subsequent forensic investigation confirmed that attackers had stolen those data. Although Amgen stated that it “has not identified any impact” to its products, manufacturing operations, financial reporting or delivery to patients to date, it has determined that the incident is “material.” The company added that the breach is “not reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations,” although its investigation into the full scope of compromised confidential records remains ongoing.
