Fujitsu Says It Was Hacked, Warns of Data Breach (techcrunch.com) 10
Multinational technology giant Fujitsu confirmed a cyberattack in a statement Friday, and warned that hackers may have stolen personal data and customer information. From a report: "We confirmed the presence of malware on multiple work computers at our company, and as a result of an internal investigation, we discovered that files containing personal information and customer information could be illegally taken out," said Fujitsu in its statement on its website, translated from Japanese.
Fujitsu said it disconnected the affected systems from its network, and is investigating how its network was compromised by malware and "whether information has been leaked." The tech conglomerate did not specify what kind of malware was used, or the nature of the cyberattack. Fujitsu also did not say what kind of personal information may have been stolen, or who the personal information pertains to -- such as its employees, corporate customers, or citizens whose governments use the company's technologies.

I used to work for Fujitsu on PC server support. Their PCs and servers are (or at least were) pretty darn good. I'd rather have a Fujitsu than a HP. (Dells are usually my favorites.)
Fujitsu systems sell decently in Japan and Europe, but have very little presence in the US.
I still have a Proxmox system that I built from a refurbished Primergy server 6 years ago, and it's still running just fine. Very happy. (Fujitsu had some internal sales on surplus systems and I was able to get it way cheap.)

And, no, they should not get the contract for new NHS digitisation that was being touted by the PM recently.
Should have been held on VME ! (Score:2)
Fujitsu should have been storing their really important stuff on an ICL Mainframe running VME. One that actually ran on the custom hardware too, not the "VME on top of Windows/Linux" versions.
