Let's see if fujifilm has better network security and backups than others. Cutting the network seems like a good way to gain time to figure out what is affected and how.
I hope they have good backups. They manufacture magnetic tape!
It's not just about the backups. If these people encrypted your data that means they had a good chance to copy a lot of it and threaten to release it if you don't pay.
Having worked at a Japanese startup and seen the advice that came down from our customer companies and the country, I got the impression that there is an ernest attempt to modify peoples behaviour to secure against ransomware sw getting in to a network. But I didn't have much confidence on the over all security in depth of things.
Imagine if they targeted TSMC or ASML ???.
I know some people who work for a TSMC subsidiary- they take security extremely seriously, all data is physically located in Taiwan and everyone remotes in, super locked down systems, etc.
I can’t imagine their actual production floor being connected to anything at all, ever. You’d need a stuxnet style airgap jump.
It seems that possibly now is a chance to data breach thanks to their fab expansion plan to overseas.
Those companies have state level adversaries to contend with.
Chinese hackers already hacked the NSA and stole their zero day exploits - it was 2014 but still.
Don't worry, I'm sure the NSA has acquired lots of fresh new exploits since then!
Yep..MS just had to send out a 'security update' to provide them with a few new vectors.
Why is infrastructure on the internet?
Impacted infrastructure like ... their email server?
I guess this is the wrong article to ask, I'm thinking more of the recent meat company hacks.
MS Windows is 100% to blame. How can a worm spread that easily in 2021 to pcs across the network? 0day trash windows exploits
