FulcrumSec Targets Novo Nordisk, Leaks Clinical and Research Data

FulcrumSec, a data-extortion group, publicly leaked files it claims were stolen from Novo Nordisk after the company refused a $25M ransom demand. Novo Nordisk confirmed unauthorized access to limited internal systems and exposure of pseudonymized clinical-trial data and non-pseudonymized healthcare provider PII; the extortionists additionally claim to have exfiltrated AI/ML model checkpoints, training datasets, source code, container images, credentials, and session cookies, raising high-impact intellectual property and operational risk.
