### AI overview

The article examines FulcrumSec, a financially motivated threat actor group that targets cloud-native businesses for sensitive data. It describes the group's "steal and squeeze" extortion model, recurring tactics, exposed credentials, and implications for security teams seeking better visibility and detection.

### Source excerpt

The FulcrumSec threat actor group recently claimed to have stolen more than a terabyte of data from global pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy. News of the breach is making headlines worldwide, and this isn't the first time this year they have breached a major organization. However, despite the group's recent "success," FulcrumSec's playbook has shown a few definitive patterns. And where patterns exist, defenders have an opportunity to get ahead.
