Novo Nordisk Faces Alleged Data Theft After Cyber Extortion Group Claims Massive Breach

Novo Nordisk is investigating claims by the cyber extortion group FulcrumSec that more than 1 terabyte of company data was stolen after the company allegedly refused a $25 million ransom demand. The report introduces cyber and legal risk, but it does not confirm a breach or quantify operational or financial damage. Market impact should be limited unless the investigation validates a material data exposure.
