Jordan armstrong reports. >> Reporter: we're not going to show you what's been released or tell you how it's accessed, but "global news" has viewed some of it, and it is highly personal information on london drugs' employees. We're talking medical and human resources files. >> Companies do hold very sensitive information about their employees. In the past, for example, we have seen salary information end up online. Details of disciplinary records. Performance reviews. >> Reporter: russian-based ransomware group lockbit has claimed responsibility for the attack. It demanded $25 million by thursday.

And providing them with complementary credit monitoring services and identity theft protection. As previously stated, we have no indication to date of any compromise of patient or customer databases. Cyber security experts all agree there was no easy way out of this for london drugs. >> This group is known to lie about things in the past. They've promised to delete information if the victim pays the ransom, and yet when the fbi and the national cyber crimes centre in the U.K. busted some of the servers and things that they used to display the stolen data, they discovered even the data that was promised to be deleted had in fact been retained by the criminals, so... There is no honour among thieves. >> Reporter: london drugs' employees whose private information is now public could decide to pursue legal action against the company but... >> You have to be able to show the damages you suffered as a result of the affect that it's had on you personally, but that affect must make objective sense.
