ExecuPharm

Clop ransomware leaked files stolen from U.S pharmaceutical company ExecuPharm after ransom negotiations failed.

ExecuPharm is a contract research organization (CRO) that provides clinical research support services to companies from the pharmaceutical industry. It is one largest privately-owned global diversity suppliers of clinical development services since 1994.

The attackers were able to steal almost 19,000 ExecuPharm and Parexel employees' emails, as well as further email correspondence including more than 80,000 emails.

They also stole 163GB worth of financial, accounting, and employee documents, as well as SQL backups of the company's document management system.
