The extortion group that took credit for breaching drug importer MPA Pharma in August has posted a major women’s health technology vendor on its leak site. GalaxyWarden logged the September 7 listing for Hologic, whose 3D mammography systems, molecular diagnostics, and surgical tools are staples of hospital radiology and breast care departments.

Metaencryptor’s post claims internal data was taken but offers no categories, no volume, no incident date, and no evidence the files have been published. Hologic, based in Marlborough, Massachusetts, has not confirmed any intrusion, and ransomware.live carries a matching victim entry dated the same week.

For hospital security teams the listing is a reminder that medical device and diagnostics suppliers sit squarely in extortion groups’ sights, and that a bare claim like this often precedes either an official breach notice or a leak. Hologic’s customers should watch for vendor communications and federal disclosures in the coming weeks. Until the company or a regulator confirms an intrusion, the posting remains an unverified assertion.
