May 24 (Reuters) - U.S. drug distributor Cencora ( COR )

has notified affected individuals that their personal and highly

sensitive medical information was stolen during a cyberattack

and data breach earlier this year, the company said on Friday.

The company in February had disclosed a cybersecurity

incident, in which data, some of which may have contained

personal information, was stolen from its information systems.

While there is no evidence that any of the information has

been publicly disclosed or misused for fraudulent purposes,

Cencora ( COR ) said it is issuing notification to individuals whose

personal information was involved in the incident.

The company is also working to ensure they have access to

resources to help them protect their information.

Technology news website TechCrunch first reported the

development on Friday.
