Security News > 2024 > March > Fujitsu finds malware on company systems, investigates possible data breach
Fujitsu Limited, the largest Japanese IT services provider, has announced that several of the company's computers have been compromised with malware, leading to a possible data breach.
The affected computers have been disconnected and the company has strengthened the monitoring of other business computers, Fujitsu said.
Fujitsu didn't say when they noticed the compromise, didn't share a timeline of the attack, and didn't identify the specific malware used by the attackers.
In June 2023, the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications issued a public reprimand to Fujitsu Cloud Technologies, a subsidiary of Fujitsu Limited that will soon merge with its parent company.
The Ministry demanded from Fujitsu Cloud Technologies and Fujitsu Limited an immediate implementation of security measures to protect the confidentiality of communications and to raise their cybersecurity posture.
Its project management suite, Fujitsu ProjectWEB, was accessed by an unauthorized third party and the incident resulted in a data breach affecting several Japanese government agencies.
