Japanese multinational conglomerate Panasonic disclosed a security breach after unknown threat actors gained access to servers on its network this month.<\/p>\n
“Panasonic Corporation has confirmed that its network was illegally accessed by a third party on November 11, 2021,” the company said in a press release issued Friday.<\/p>\n
“As the result of an internal investigation, it was determined that some data on a file server had been accessed during the intrusion.”<\/p>\n
Panasonic has reported the incident to the\u00a0relevant authorities and has taken measures to prevent access to its network from external servers.<\/p>\n
The Japanese electronics giant has also hired the services of a third party to investigate the attack\u2014which Panasonic tagged as a “leak” in the press release\u2014and find if any of the data accessed during the intrusion includes customer personal information.<\/p>\n
“In addition to conducting its own investigation, Panasonic is currently working with a\u00a0specialist third-party organization to investigate the leak and determine if the breach involved customers’ personal information and\/or sensitive information related to social infrastructure,” the company\u00a0added.<\/p>\n
A Panasonic\u00a0spokesperson was not immediately available for comment when contacted by BleepingComputer.<\/p>\n
Panasonic would like to express its sincerest apologies for any concern or inconvenience\u00a0resulting from this incident. \u2014 Panasonic<\/p>\n
