While sensitive data, including personal information of employees and partners, was compromised, no credit card information was accessed. Casio's spokesperson stated there is 'no prospect of recovery yet' and that they are prioritizing customer service during this crisis. The hackers, linked to a Russian cybercriminal group, left a threatening message regarding data leaks.
