Tech giant Fujitsu says it was hacked, warns of data breach


The Japan-based multinational technology giant warned of a potential data breach, involving "personal information and customer information."

Multinational technology giant Fujitsu confirmed a cyberattack in a statement Friday, and warned that hackers may have stolen personal data and customer information. The tech company recently faced renewed furore over its role in the wrongful convictions of hundreds of U.K. Post Office workers, who were accused of false accounting and thefts that were later attributed to bugs in the Horizon computer software that Fujitsu developed. The company has not said whether it has filed required data breach notices with any other government or authority, including in the United States.
