Farmatodo is listed as a victim of the Akira ransomware on its leak site
The Venezuelan pharmacy and convenience store chain Farmatodo (farmatodo.com) was listed as a victim by the Akira ransomware group on January 31, 2025. The entry was part of Akira’s mass publication titled “Taking Stock of 2024 | Part 1,” in which the group listed Farmatodo alongside dozens of other companies allegedly compromised. The list is categorized under Venezuela and the consumer services sector. There has been no public confirmation from the company, nor are there any official figures regarding the data exposed.

On June 27, 2024, the pharmacy and retail chain Farmatodo suffered a cyberattack that paralyzed its electronic payment systems nationwide—including integrated point-of-sale, mobile payment, self-checkout, and delivery payment—forcing the company to operate on cash only for several hours. Security experts attributed the incident to the Medusa group, the same actor linked to previous attacks against Digitel and Banco de Venezuela, which publicly mocked Farmatodo on X with the message “Farmatodo, is everything okay?” The company did not issue an official statement regarding the cause of the incident.
