Charles River Labs Hacked to Steal Cleint Data
Return To ArticleOne of the largest contract research organizations in the world said it was hacked and that data from companies using its services were stolen.
In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing Tuesday, Wilmington, Massachusetts-based Charles River Laboratories said a “highly sophisticated, well-resourced intruder” had broken into its computer systems and copied the data. The number of clients affected constitute about 1 percent of the total number of organizations contracted with CRL. However, the CRO added that there is no indication any of the data were deleted, corrupted or altered, according to a dedicated page on the company’s website regarding the incident, which occurred in the middle of March.
