Security News > 2020 > May > NTT Communications Data Breach Affects Customers, Threatens Supply Chain
Japan-based systems integrator NTT Communications has disclosed a recent data breach that it said impacted hundreds of customers.
NTT Communications did not clarify what kind of data may have been accessed, nor did it mention how attackers were able to move laterally on the network.
NTT Communications believes that attackers used the latter server to reach its Japanese hosting and cloud services, and ultimately steal files.
Moving forward, NTT Communications said it will continue to investigate the internal server group and will take steps to further improve security measures.
Joseph Carson, chief security scientist and Advisory CISO at Thycotic, told Threatpost that the NTT Communications data breach could have "Serious cascading impacts," particularly given the compromise of the Active Directory server, which is a popular directory service developed by Microsoft for Windows domain networks.
