Nidec Corporation reported that a ransomware attack on its Taiwanese subsidiary Nidec Chaun Choung Technology may have resulted in a data leak, despite no explicit evidence of exfiltration. A forensic investigation by an external agency found no logs confirming data theft, but a third party published part of a list of folder and file names on the dark web. The company said it cannot deny possible leakage of the listed data and other information, though no actual files have been confirmed as published. The attack has had no material impact on production, shipping, or other business activities, and only a minute impact is expected on Nidec's consolidated performance.
