	"plain_text": "Panasonic: February ransomware attack only affected Canada\r\nbranch\r\nBy Will Jarvis\r\nPublished: 2022-04-21 · Archived: 2026-04-06 00:18:16 UTC\r\nPanasonic this week said a ransomware attack that took place in February only affected its operations in Canada.\r\nA spokesperson for the global tech manufacturer said that in February, Panasonic Canada discovered that the\r\nattack affected some of their “systems, processes, and networks.”\r\n“We took immediate action to address the issue with assistance from cybersecurity experts and our service\r\nproviders. This included identifying the scope of impact, containing the malware, cleaning and restoring servers,\r\nrebuilding applications, and communicating rapidly with affected customers and relevant authorities,” a\r\nspokesperson told The Record in a statement.\r\n“Since confirming this attack, we have worked diligently to restore operations and understand the impact to\r\ncustomers, employees, and other stakeholders. Our ongoing investigation revealed that this incident only affected\r\nour Canadian operations. Our top priority is continuing to work closely with affected parties to fully mitigate any\r\nimpacts from this incident.”\r\nTechCrunch was first to report Panasonic’s statement on the attack.\r\nEmbattled ransomware group Conti added Panasonic Canada to its list of victims on April 5 despite the\r\ncontroversy that swirled around the gang.\r\nIn November, Panasonic disclosed a security breach after an unidentified threat actor had gained access to its\r\ninternal network.\r\nTwo Japanese news outlets, Mainichi and NHK, reported at the time that the attackers accessed employee\r\ninformation, customer details, technical data and information on the company’s domestic operations.\r\nThe alleged hackers were in Panasonic’s systems from June 22 to November 3.\r\nSource: https://therecord.media/panasonic-february-ransomware-attack-only-affected-canada-branch/\r\nhttps://therecord.media/panasonic-february-ransomware-attack-only-affected-canada-branch/\r\nPage 1 of 1",
