Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (NZX: FPH) said there is “no evidence” that a recent cyber incident compromised the manufacturer’s patient data system.
The company cited unauthorized and unlawful access “to two employee email accounts and a subset of company files” in an Oct. 22 news announcement.
“The company immediately activated its response protocols to contain the incident and investigate the nature and extent of the activity,” the announcement said. “There has been no impact to the company’s products, manufacturing operations or supply chain, and its ability to supply and support customers and patients continues uninterrupted. There is no evidence that the unlawful activity compromised the company’s system that maintains patient data.”
The company, which manufactures sleep apnea and respiratory care products, said it is in the process of notifying people impacted by the incident, as “Some of the files accessed contained personally identifiable information.”
Fisher & Paykel also reported the incident to “relevant authorities.”
“The company has identified no evidence of ransomware or malware, believes the incident has been contained and does not expect any material impact on its financials or operations,” Fisher & Paykel added.
