Sneaky software slips past shields, spurring scramble

The statement doesn't specify what malware was used, when the intrusion occurred, or how much and what type of data the criminals accessed. Fujitsu did add that, at least thus far, it hasn't received any reports of customers' information being misused.After spotting the malware, the company said it"immediately" disconnected the affected systems and added security measures including better monitoring tools.

"Additionally, we are currently continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the malware's intrusion and whether information has been leaked," a company statement noted. Fujitsu said it has begun notifying those affected that their data may have been stolen, and also reported the digital intrusion to Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission.

The stolen data, deemed"legitimate" by threat hunters on social media, reportedly includes names, Social Security Numbers, dates of birth, addresses, emails, phone numbers and other personal information.
