Novo Nordisk secret database of healthcare workers revealed

Leaked data from a cyberattack by the hacker group FulcrumSec has revealed that Novo Nordisk maintains a secret internal database containing approximately 46,000 Danish doctors and nurses. The system reportedly ranks these healthcare professionals using commercial scores ranging from A to D, based on their commercial potential and loyalty to specific Novo Nordisk products, such as Ozempic and Wegovy.

Political reactions in Denmark have been swift, with several parties calling for Health Minister Ida Auken to address the situation. Concerns have been raised regarding GDPR compliance and the potential influence of the pharmaceutical giant on the Danish healthcare system. The data collection was reportedly facilitated by a controversial American data health giant that has previously faced legal judgments in Europe.
