Eisai, a pharmaceutical company, has become the latest victim of a ransomware attack. Following the cyberattack on Saturday night, the Japanese company swiftly established a task force involving experts from both within and outside the company, as well as law enforcement officials. Eisai has released a statement stating that they are actively collaborating with these external parties to manage the situation.
The company is currently investigating the possibility of data leaks resulting from the attack. Assessing the full extent of the incident is expected to take some time, as stated by Eisai.
To address the attack, Eisai has temporarily taken certain computer systems offline, both domestically and internationally. However, their corporate websites and email systems remain unaffected and operational.
Regarding the potential impact on Eisai’s financial performance, the company is carefully evaluating any implications for its earnings forecast. If necessary, revisions to the forecast will be promptly announced.
