"Ransomware Operators Threaten to Leak 1.5TB of Supernus Pharmaceuticals Data"

Biopharmaceutical company Supernus Pharmaceuticals last week confirmed it fell victim to a ransomware attack that resulted in a large amount of data being exfiltrated from its network.  The Rockville, Maryland-based company says the attack likely happened in mid-November, when a ransomware group accessed data on certain systems, deployed malware to prevent access to files, and then threatened to leak the exfiltrated files.  To date, the company has not paid any ransom and has been able to restore all of the information encrypted by the criminal ransomware group.  The company believes that the adversaries will likely attempt to exploit the improperly obtained information.  On Thanksgiving, the Hive ransomware group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that it breached Supernus Pharmaceuticals’ network on November 14 and that it managed to exfiltrate a total of 1,268,906 files totaling 1.5 terabytes of data.  The hacking group announced on their leaks website on the Tor network that the stolen information will be posted online soon.
