Casio reported unauthorized access to servers leading to a ransomware attack affecting corporate systems, compromising personal information of employees, job applicants, customers, and partners. The company has shut down affected servers, initiated forensic investigations, and is working on restoring systems to mitigate the breach's impact, but the full extent of damage is still under review. The breach exposed various sensitive data like personal information, contracts, invoices, and internal documents, potentially leading to misuse of the compromised data for phishing or spam emails
The breach was attributed to the Underground ransomware group, which claims to possess 205GB of stolen data from Casio, prompting the company to advise vigilance against suspicious emails. ```https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/casio-confirms-ransomware-outage/
