Stolichki, a major pharmacy chain in Russia, experienced a significant cyberattack that disrupted payments and access to medication reservations for patients. The attack halted operations in about 1,000 stores, with only half reopened by Wednesday. Employees were sent home, and online services, including drug reservations and loyalty programs, were disrupted. The incident is part of a surge in cyberattacks on Russian businesses, with similar attacks on Aeroflot and Novabev Group.
