Drugmaker Amgen discloses data breach involving patient health information

Drugmaker Amgen said on Friday hackers stole company data and patient health information in a cybersecurity incident involving cloud storage systems run by third-party providers, becoming the latest healthcare firm to disclose a breach.

On July 29, Amgen determined the incident ‌was material, based ⁠on ⁠its evaluation of how many files appeared to be affected and ​the possibility that the information in those files could be sensitive, it ​said in a regulatory filing.
