Summary: Henry Schein, a dental and medical products supplier, has reported a data breach affecting 29,112 people, with personal information accessed in a September 27 cyber incident. The breach impacted the company’s manufacturing and distribution businesses, leading to a system shutdown. The ransomware group AlphV/BlackCat has claimed responsibility for the breach. The compromised data includes names, financial information, and account details with security codes. Henry Schein is now offering discounts to regain customers lost during the cybersecurity incident. The company has restored its operations but expects a financial impact on its 2023 fiscal year. The incident also delayed regulatory filings and led to a subsequent disruption to its e-commerce platform. The company is actively working to retain business by offering discounts of 10% to 20% off product list prices through December.
