It subsequently learned some of the data, including patient protected health information, has been exfiltrated from the cloud environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo date, the company has not identified any impact to its products, manufacturing operations, or financial reporting systems, or to the company\u2019s ability to meet patient needs,\u201d it said in the filing.<\/p>\n<p>The incident is material because of the volume of files affected and the risk that sensitive information was compromised, the company said. The investigation is underway.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=6291\">Opinion: Lurie is no Mamdani. San Francisco is fine with that.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the latest setback for the Thousand Oaks, California, drugmaker. The company is separately facing safety questions over its drug Tavneos, which is intended to treat a rare autoimmune condition. A major journal has retracted the study used to support Tavneos\u2019 approval, and regulators in the US and Europe want it off the market.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Amgen has also been grappling with declining sales of its older medicines as they lose patent protection. Investors are focused on new pipeline products, particularly the weight-loss shot MariTide, with early evidence suggesting it\u2019s not as desirable as existing treatments from Eli Lilly &amp; Co. and Novo Nordisk A\/S.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, a cyberattack disrupted operations at medical-technology company Stryker Corp. Soon afterward, Intuitive Surgical Inc., which makes surgical tools and systems, said it was the victim of a cybersecurity incident. Last month, Novo Nordisk identified unauthorized access to some IT systems the drugmaker uses for its global business.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nextcitydigest.com\/?p=6289\">Horoscopes August 4, 2026: Barack Obama, awaken and revive those around you who have lost their way<\/a><\/p>\n<p>More stories like this are available on bloomberg.com<\/p>\n<p>\u00a92026 Bloomberg L.P.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amgen Inc. experienced a cyber incident that involved the theft of patient information and proprietary data stored in cloud servers, it said in a filing Friday, the latest large healthcare company to suffer a data breach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
