Employees and executives from the top 20 pharma companies on the Fortune 500 list have had their credentials exposed, new research suggests.
Constella Intelligence identified 9,030 breaches/leakages and 4,549,871 exposed records—including attributes like email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, addresses, and even credit card and banking information—related to employee corporate credentials from the companies analysed.
The circulation and proliferation of this data provides threat actors with the resources necessary for a range of cyberattacks and paves the way for ransomware threats.
“The pharma sector’s role within the healthcare ecosystem, especially with today’s public health needs, only emphasizes how critically important it is that these companies protect themselves from cyber threat actors,” said Constella Intelligence CEO, Kailash Ambwani.
