Full breach record for NovoCure Limited

NovoCure Limited (CIK 0001645113) filed an 8-K on September 1, 2026, disclosing that in mid-August 2026 it became aware of unauthorized access to some of its information systems. The incident affected over 1,400 U.S. patient records (internal IDs) and fewer than 50 other patients with additional identifying data, plus healthcare provider and employee contact info. NovoCure engaged forensic experts and activated its response plan. The company stated no medical device access was obtained and operations remain functional, though it did not initially deem the incident material.
