Fujitsu Japan Confirms Cyberattack and Data Leak>

Fujitsu Japan has confirmed a cyberattack that resulted in the leak of sensitive customer data. The attack, first identified on March 15, 2024, began with the compromise of one device and subsequently spread to 49 business PCs. The malware used sophisticated techniques to evade detection and was not classified as ransomware. The compromised devices were part of Fujitsu’s internal Japanese network, with no impact on other business PCs or cloud services. Although some sensitive data was stolen, Fujitsu has assured that the malware did not infiltrate customers’ network environments. The company has apologized to affected customers and notified them individually. The exact nature of the stolen data has not been disclosed, but Japanese law mandates notifying individuals if the data is sensitive and could be misused for financial gain.
