Fujitsu has confirmed that miscreants have compromised some of its internal computers, deployed malware, and may have stolen some customer information.

"In a March 15 notice posted on its website, and translated from Japanese, the global tech giant said it had"confirmed the presence of malware on several of our company's work computers, and after conducting an internal investigation "Discovered that files containing personal information and customer information could be illegally taken out."

The statement doesn't specify what malware was used, when the intrusion occurred, or how much and what type of data the criminals accessed.

Fujitsu did add that, at least thus far, it hasn't received any reports of customers' information being misused.

After spotting the malware, the company said it "Immediately" disconnected the affected systems and added security measures including better monitoring tools.

Fujitsu said it has begun notifying those affected that their data may have been stolen, and also reported the digital intrusion to Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission.
