00:02A cyber extortion group called FulcrumSec claimed Tuesday to have stolen more than a terabyte of data
00:07from pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk, according to Reuters.
00:11The group said it spent more than two months inside Novo Nordisk's networks beginning in March,
00:16taking source code, proprietary drug information, trial data, employee and patient records,
00:21and internal AI model data.
00:24FulcrumSec demanded $25 million from the company.
00:27After Novo Nordisk refused to pay, the group said it is exploring private sales of portions of the stolen data.
00:33Novo Nordisk disclosed a cybersecurity incident on June 11th,
00:36involving unauthorized access to a limited number of internal IT systems.
00:41FulcrumSec said it would withhold stolen data on thousands of Novo Nordisk employees,
