Drug testing firm sends data breach alerts after ransomware attack

Hammersmith Medicines Research LTD (HMR) has started emailing data breach notifications after having their data stolen and published in a ransomware attack. Maze Ransomware operators stole data hosted on HMR’s network and then began to encrypt their computers. After the ransom was not paid, the Maze operators published some of the stolen data on their “News”” site on March 21st to further extort HMR into making a payment. HMR stated that they could not afford the ransom demand and wouldn’t pay even if they could.”
