July 31 (Reuters) - Drugmaker Amgen said on Friday hackers stole company data and patient health information in a cybersecurity ‌incident involving cloud storage systems run by third-party providers, becoming ‌the latest healthcare firm to disclose a breach. The healthcare ‌sector has been grappling with ⁠a surge in cyberattacks, with Abbott Laboratories, Clover Health, Stryker, Medtronic, Novo Nordisk and West Pharmaceutical Services ⁠among the companies recently affected. Amgen has activated its cybersecurity response plan, put containment measures in place, and brought in independent forensic experts to ​investigate. The company ​said it was assessing whether ​and/or the extent to which ‌patient, confidential business information, intellectual property, research and development, or other information may have been accessed or stolen. To date, it said it has not found any impact on its products, manufacturing operations, financial reporting systems, or its ability to meet patient needs.
