A hacking and extortion group called FulcrumSec claims it carries out a major intrusion into Novo Nordisk and tried to extort money from the Danish healthcare company. According to a message the group posts online, it spent more than two months inside Novo Nordisk’s networks and says it stole data during that period. The group also claims it attempted to pressure the company for a payment of about US$25 million. The accounts across the reports are based on the group’s own statements posted publicly, and they do not provide independent confirmation of the extent of the breach or the amount of data taken. The reports also describe FulcrumSec as a cyber extortion organisation that emerged in October 2025. The information currently available focuses on the group’s alleged access and extortion demand, while leaving open details such as what specific systems were compromised and whether Novo Nordisk has confirmed the breach, the data affected, or any actions taken in response.
