Was this a ransomware attack?

The filing does not say ransomware was involved. We do not label an incident ransomware unless the company’s report says so. Whatever the cause, the steps to protect yourself and the legal question are the same.

What we know

Perrigo Company recently reported a security incident to the Vermont Attorney General, revealing that unauthorized parties gained access to their network and compromised sensitive data. Although the exact number of affected individuals has not yet been publicly disclosed, the breach involved private personal information entrusted to the company. This official filing brings the security failure to light and initiates the formal process of notifying those whose privacy was compromised. The exposure of personal information puts individuals at a heightened risk for identity theft, financial fraud, and targeted phishing scams where bad actors use these details to pose as trusted institutions. Because this core data is permanent and cannot be easily changed like a password, victims often face ongoing challenges in monitoring their financial accounts, credit reports, and personal communications for fraudulent activity. Securing your accounts and remaining vigilant for unauthorized use is critical in the aftermath of such an exposure. If you received a notification letter in the mail from Perrigo Company about this data breach, you may be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit to pursue accountability and compensation. You can request a completely free, no-obligation case review right now with zero upfront fees to understand your legal rights and options.
