After that, unauthorized access was confirmed in Japan from bases in Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United States, and among them, evidence of data being sent outside the company was found from the base in Thailand, and some information may have leaked to the outside. That is.
As a result of restricting domestic communication with all overseas bases and investigating about 30,000 terminals in detail, the company says that unauthorized access has not been confirmed since August.
It seems that someone illegally obtained the ID and password of the in-house system, but it is not known in detail how much information may have been leaked, and we are continuing to investigate with an external specialized agency on security. ..
Kawasaki Heavy Industries says, "We deeply apologize for the inconvenience and concern caused to our customers and other related parties."
