    Attack on Fujitsu

    Japanese tech giant Fujitsu announced on Friday that it fell victim to a malware attack, and the attackers may have stolen personal and customer information. The company reported that several work computers were infected with malware, and in response to the compromise, security personnel disconnected the infected systems from the network.

    Investigation results

    The company has launched an investigation into the incident and discovered that the attackers may have extracted files containing personal and client information. "We have confirmed the presence of malware on several work computers in our company, and as a result of our internal investigation, we found that files containing personal information and client data may have been unlawfully accessed," reads a statement published by the Japanese company. "After confirming the presence of malware, we immediately disconnected the affected business computers and took measures such as enhancing the monitoring of other business computers. Additionally, we are currently continuing to investigate the circumstances of the malware intrusion and information leak."

    Notification and investigation

    The company informed the affected individuals about the incident and notified the Data Protection Commission in anticipation of a possible data leak.

The notification states that Fujitsu has not received reports of misuse of personal information or customer data. The investigation is ongoing, and the company has not provided details about the attack, such as the malware that infected its computers. It is also unclear what the scale of the incident is, how many people were affected, and what information was accessible to the attackers.

Previous cyberattacks on Fujitsu

In May 2021, hackers infiltrated the offices of several Japanese agencies, gaining access to projects using an information tool from Fujitsu called ProjectWEB. ProjectWEB is a SaaS (Software as a Service) platform for enterprise collaboration and file sharing, provided by Fujitsu. At that time, Fujitsu confirmed the breach and reported that the hackers also stole some client data belonging to several government organizations.
