Canadian Law firm file a national class action against Cencora

Canadian Law firm, CONSUMER LAW GROUP, has filed a national class action lawsuit against pharmaceutical giant, Cencora and its affiliate partner Innomar Strategies with respect to a significant data security incident.

Cencora in May said that a February incident resulted in the compromise of patients’ data, which Cencora obtained through partnerships with drug makers it works with in connection with its patient support programs. Some of those drug makers include AbbVie, Bayer, Pfizer and Regeneron.

Cencora, known as AmerisourceBergen until 2023, says in its data breach notice that the compromised data includes patient names, their postal address and date of birth, as well as information about their health diagnoses, medications and prescriptions.

From Bloomberg, the gang behind this attack received a total of $75 million, payment made through three bitcoin installment in March.
