Japanese technology giant Fujitsu said it found malware on multiple computers in its network and has warned that the intruders may have stolen files containing personal information and customer data.
“After confirming the presence of malware, we immediately disconnected the affected business computers and took measures such as strengthening monitoring of other business computers. Additionally, we are currently continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the malware's intrusion and whether information has been leaked,” the company said in a data breach notice.
The tech giant did not specify what kind of malware its systems have been infected with, or the nature of the cyberattack. It also did not disclose what kind of personal information may have been pilfered.
The company informed affected customers of the breach and alerted the relevant authorities about the incident.
“To date, we have not received any reports that personal information or information about our customers has been misused,” the company said.
Earlier this month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revealed it suffered a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the compromise of 11 email accounts. At present, it’s unclear who was behind the attack.
