It said that data included company source code, proprietary information on released and unreleased drugs, trial data, and unreleased drugs, trial data, and unreleased drugs, trial data, employee and doctor and patient data, information related to company processing facilities and internal AI model information.

Thomas Willkan head of research at cybersecurity firm Lab-1 has closely tracked Fulcrum Sec and the hacking group is usually quite legit in terms of both their capabilities and also their claims.
