McKesson confirmed on 28 August 2026 that attackers reached employee corporate accounts and, through them, third-party applications, taking data tied to a subset of customers in its Oncology & Multispecialty and Medical-Surgical businesses. Its formal notice of 8 September says the intrusion ran from 20 to 25 August and lists the categories involved, including medical information and, for some people, Social Security numbers. McKesson has still not said how many people are affected, and the 284 million figure circulating publicly is an attacker claim the company has never confirmed.

Verified breach

Breach listings — particularly those originating from ransomware or leak sites — are third-party claims that may be unverified, incomplete, or inaccurate. A listing does not by itself confirm that a breach occurred or that any specific data was exposed. Severity is an automated assessment, not a definitive rating. Verification status is shown where available.

Attributions to threat groups and methods reflect public reporting and, in some cases, unverified claims made by the groups themselves; they may be incomplete or later revised. Recent Breaches and GalaxyWarden are independent and are not affiliated with, and do not endorse, any company or group named on this page. This information is aggregated from public sources for awareness only and is not legal, security, or investment advice.
