US-based Supernus Pharmaceuticals was hit with a ransomware attack that resulted in 1.5TB of data being exfiltrated from its networks. The Hive ransomware group is claiming responsibility for the attack over the US Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The group says it exfiltrated 1,268,906 files of data from the pharmaceutical company.

Despite the Hive threatening to leak the large cache of stolen data, Supernus says it does not plan to pay the ransom. A statement from the company disclosed that it had not experienced any significant impact or disruptions from the attack as they were well prepared and able to restore the lost data. While Supernus acted quickly to mitigate any damages, the company is looking to implement more robust security measures.
