At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Amgen data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected as many as NUMBER individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal information.
A recent report from the Attorney General of Montana states that Amgen was compromised due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on June 30, 2023 after the company learned that some Embark Application users’ profiles displayed incorrect information. Amgen launched an investigation and confirmed that certain users were able to view the information of others between June 3, 2023 and July 31, 2023. This was due to a coding error. Data breach letters were sent out by Amgen on August 23, 2023 informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
Based in Thousand Oaks, California, Amgen Inc. is a biotechnology company creating medicines to treat certain medical issues.
