More than 300 gigabytes of material on the Western Canada pharmacy chain’s internal operations has been published on LockBit’s leak site, as the gang followed through on threats attached to demands for payment after it breached London Drugs’s computer systems at the end of April. The files include some tax material and private human resources documentation of things like firings and relationships between employees. (The Logic)
Talking point: The company said in a statement that it’s reviewing the files and won’t comment on their contents, except that the leak is “deeply distressing” and it will inform individual employees and offer credit and identity theft protection. As London Drugs has said in the weeks since the breach, the files do not appear to include any customer information. U.S. and U.K. authorities said in February that they had taken LockBit down, but its sites and their mirrors on the dark web still have dozens of companies’ and governments’ data for the taking.
