Security News > 2021 > November > Panasonic’s Data Breach Leaves Open Questions
Consumer electronics giant Panasonic's data breach raises questions, researchers say - given that more than two weeks after the incident was discovered, it's unclear if customers' personal information has been impacted.
On Friday, Panasonic confirmed that its "Network was illegally accessed by a third party on November 11, 2021," and that "Some data on a file server had been accessed during the intrusion."
Further details on the breach are thin, with Panasonic's bare-bones statement offering very little in the way of technical detail or timeline.
"Although their investigation hasn't been completed yet, Panasonic seem to be lucky here as they were able to detect the breach relatively quickly," he said.
"According toIBM's 'Cost of Data Breach 2021' report, on average it took 287 days to identify and contain a data breach."
The news follows a ransomware attack on Panasonic India last year, which resulted in email addresses and financial data being leaked.
