The large Japanese company Casio is still recovering after a cyber attack using the Mount Program, which occurred almost two weeks ago. The representative of Ayuko Hara said to technical publication TechCrunch that the prospects of complete recovery are not yet clear.
“On October 5, our servers failed, which made several of them inaccessible,” Hara said. After that, Casio turned off its systems to prevent further spread of damage.
These measures affected the processes of orders and supplies of products, especially in the domestic market. Buyers in Japan are facing the message: “Due to problems with the delivery system, the deadlines for sending goods are not determined.” However, the global site Casio is currently operating as usual.
A week after the attack, the company confirmed that its systems were targeted by the Mrown Mountain Program, resulting in the compromise of sensitive data. The hacker group Underground took responsibility for the attack and published samples of stolen information on their darknet site.
Hara mentioned that the attackers left a threatening message about the intention to publish the stolen data, but Casio allegedly did not receive any ransom demands. The representative did not disclose the company’s future actions and refrained from detailing any communication with the criminals.
Currently, an investigation is underway, and the exact extent of the data leak has not been determined. However, the hackers claim that over 200 gigabytes of data were stolen. The company reassures that Casio credit card information, as far as their knowledge goes, was not compromised.
