"Data Breach at Panasonic"
The Panasonic Corporation has disclosed a data security incident in which an undisclosed amount of data was compromised. Pansonic Corporation discovered that an adversary had gained access to its network on November 11. An internal investigation was launched that determined that the intruder had accessed some data stored on a file server. Panasonic did not say how much data was compromised in the incident or whether any sensitive information was accessed. Japanese news outlets Mainichi and NHK reported that the data breach went on for four months, from June 22 to November 3. NHK claimed that sensitive data, including information on the company's partners, personal details pertaining to customers and employees, and technical files from Panasonic's operations in Japan, was accessed in the intrusion. A principal threat hunter at Netenrich stated that the reported delay in detection "demonstrates that companies are continuing to lag behind attackers."
