Yamaha Motor's Philippines motorcycle manufacturing subsidiary was hit by a ransomware attack last month, resulting in the theft and leak of some employees' personal information.

"One of the servers managed by [.] motorcycle manufacturing and sales subsidiary in the Philippines, Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc., was accessed without authorization by a third party and hit by a ransomware attack, and a partial leakage of employees' personal information stored by the company was confirmed," Yamaha said.

Yamaha said the threat actors breached a single server at Yamaha Motor Philippines and that their attack didn't impact the headquarters or any other subsidiaries within the Yamaha Motor group.

While the company has yet to attribute the attack to a specific operation, the INC RANSOM gang has claimed the attack and leaked what they claim is data stolen from Yamaha Motor Philippines' network.

Seiko says ransomware attack exposed sensitive customer data.

MGM Resorts ransomware attack led to $100 million loss, data theft.
