Casio says ‘no prospect of recovery yet’ after ransomware attack


The Japanese electronics giant says some of its systems remain "unusable" almost two weeks after cyberattack.

Casio spokesperson Ayuko Hara told TechCrunch on Thursday that the company sees “no prospect of recovery yet” as it struggles to bounce back from the cyberattack. Hara tells TechCrunch that the “hackers left a threatening message indicating their intention to leak our data,” but said that Casio had not received a ransom demand. Underground, which security experts have linked to the Russia-linked cybercriminal group, known as RomCom (or Storm-0978), claims to have stolen more than 200 gigabytes of data from Casio’s systems.
