Boston Scientific left nursing its bottom line after cyberattack

Boston Scientific disclosed a network intrusion on August 25 that disrupted business applications, distribution, manufacturing, and certain remote patient activations; while major distribution centers and most manufacturing have been substantially restored, some systems remain affected and the company warned the incident will have a material negative impact on its Q3 and full-year financial guidance. The investigation is ongoing, with no public attribution, no confirmed ransomware claim, and no confirmed data theft to date.
