Another day, another data breach: Now Cencora. HIPAA, PII compromised.

Who's next?

Cencora has so far notified over a million people around the U.S. that their personal and protected health information was compromised in a data breach earlier this year, TechCrunch has found.

The pharmaceutical giant in May said that a February incident resulted in the compromise of patients’ data, which Cencora obtained through partnerships with drug makers it works with in connection with its patient support programs. Some of those drug makers include AbbVie, Bayer, Pfizer and Regeneron.

Cencora, known as AmerisourceBergen until 2023, says in its data breach notice that the compromised data includes patient names, their postal address and date of birth, as well as information about their health diagnoses, medications and prescriptions.
