Japan's largest mobile operator has announced a possible hacker attack
NTT Docomo, Japan's largest mobile operator, admits a high probability that unauthorized persons have gained unauthorized access to the company's servers. This was reported on November 5 by the Kyodo news agency.
NTT Docomo is conducting emergency maintenance of some services. The company has suspended the operation of its online store, as well as the My Docomo portal.
Disruptions in mobile communications are being recorded all over the country. Customers are experiencing problems with voice calls, SMS, and data transmission. The causes of the problems are still being investigated. It is unknown whether these difficulties are related to a possible hacking of the servers.
In recent weeks, Japanese agencies and businesses have faced a massive wave of cyber attacks. Tokyo-based IT company Paycloud Holdings announced the leak of 77 million email addresses.
The victim of cyber attacks on November 4 was the French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa. According to some estimates, the scammers managed to steal more than $133 million. The bank assured that "the incident does not entail any financial consequences for customers."
