Japanese Technology Giant Casio Computer confirmed Cyberattack
High tech manufacturer, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., suffered a cyberattack that caused a “system failure” which did not allow the company to provide services.
The Japanese technology giant confirmed on October 5th of this year that its network had been illegally accessed by a third party. The company stated unauthorized access had caused a system failure, making it impossible to provide some services. On October 5, the attackers leaked the data, which included customer names, email addresses, country of residence, order details, service usage information and payment methods. Attackers did not steal credit card information in the breach, the company said. No further information was immediately available.
Just about one year ago the company said hackers accessed the company’s education web application ClassPad.net, resulting in the leak of customers’ personal information from 148 countries.
