June 15, 2021

INCIDENT

Japan’s major film provider, Fujifilm, finally restored operations on June 14, following a ransomware attack earlier this month.

On June 4, Fujifilm said it fell victim to a ransomware attack on June 1 which forced the company to shut down its network and servers across the globe. Beyond the shutdown, there were order processing delays. While most regions were able to get back up and running fairly quickly, Japan suffered the biggest impact.

Fujifilm manufactures a wide variety of products, including rapid COVID19 test kits.
