Japan’s Keio Corporation announced on the 16th that it has confirmed claims by the international cybercrime group “Qilin” that it has released some of the company group’s information. Whether information was actually leaked remains under investigation.
Qilin is a group that has repeatedly carried out ransomware attacks against companies in various countries around the world. Keio Corporation confirmed it was hit by a ransomware attack in the early hours of September 26, which caused disruptions to the business systems of some group subsidiaries but had no impact on railway operations.
A company spokesperson explained that whether customer information has been leaked externally and whether the data Qilin claims to have published is genuine are “currently under investigation.” No monetary demands have been confirmed against the company.
Keio Corporation has established a response headquarters and is working with external experts and police to identify the attack route and scope of damage. The company has indicated it will respond promptly if personal information leaks are confirmed.
