Casio says ‘no prospect of recovery yet’ after ransomware attack
Reading Time: < 1 minutesJapanese electronics giant Casio has confirmed that many of its systems remain unusable almost two weeks after it was hit by a ransomware attack.
‘This countermeasure is affecting our receiving and placing orders with suppliers and schedule of product shipments,’ Hara said. ‘There is no prospect of recovery yet, but we are prioritizing our customers as we move forward with recovery.’
On Friday, Casio revealed it had been the victim of a ransomware attack, which saw attackers compromise sensitive company data and the personal information of employees, contractors, business partners, and job applicants. This data theft was claimed by the Underground ransomware group, which shared alleged samples of the stolen Casio data on its dark web leak site.
Casio has not yet determined which types of data were stolen or how many individuals are potentially affected, Hara said.
‘We have identified that certain information have [sic] been compromised, details are still under investigation,’ Hara said. ‘But we are sure no credit card information of our customers has been compromised.’
Underground, which security experts have linked to the Russia-linked cybercriminal group, known as RomCom (or Storm-0978), claims to have stolen more than 200 gigabytes of data from Casio’s systems. Security researchers have linked the RomCom group to cyberattacks carried out on behalf of the Russian state.
When asked whether Casio disputes Underground’s claims, Hara said the company is ‘currently investigating.’
