West Pharmaceutical Services Faces Global Disruption Due to Ransomware Attack
West Pharmaceutical Services, a major pharmaceutical company based in Pennsylvania, is dealing with the aftermath of a ransomware attack that occurred on May 4. The attack led to a proactive shutdown of affected on-premise infrastructure, disrupting global business operations. The company has engaged Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 for threat intelligence and incident response to aid in containment and system restoration. While core enterprise systems have been restored and critical processes have resumed at some sites, the full restoration timeline remains uncertain. The attackers exfiltrated data before deploying ransomware, and the company is investigating the extent of the data breach.
