Confucius Pharmacy

The breach at Confucius Pharmacy in New York appears to be related to a legal dispute rather than a data or security breach. A petition filed on July 6, 2020, involves Chau Yee Cheuk, Sui Lung Shum, and Eunice Yeung, who are shareholders owning more than twenty percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Confucius Pharmacy Inc. They seek judicial dissolution of Confucius Pharmacy Inc., Mannings Pharmacy Corporation, and Mannings 8th Ave Inc. under Section 1104-a of the Business Corporation Law. The petitioners allege misappropriation and/or wastage of monies through misconduct and seek damages for oppressive and fraudulent conduct by the respondents Ernie Chak Ng, Ruth Ng, and Sandra Ng[1].

Additionally, there is a mention of a data breach involving Confucius Pharmacy, reported on November 7, 2023, affecting 501 individuals. This incident was classified as a “Hacking/IT Incident” involving the pharmacy’s network server[13].

It’s important to differentiate between the legal dispute, which involves allegations of financial misconduct and seeks the dissolution of the pharmacy, and the data breach, which involves unauthorized access to the pharmacy’s network server.
