BACKGROUND:
Panasonic has become the latest company to fall victim to a data breach, with the company reporting that its network was “illegally accessed by a third party,” beginning in June 22 and ending November 3. The breach went undetected until November 11. The news follows a ransomware attack that targeted Panasonic India less than a year ago in which hackers leaked 4 gigabytes of data that included email addresses and financial information. This month’s attack is also among a growing trend of cyberattacks on Japanese technology companies, with organizations such as Mitsubishi Electric and Olympus also being subject to attacks within the past year.
