In a statement shared with BleepingComputer, Hitachi Vantara confirmed the ransomware attack, saying it hired external cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident’s impact and is now working on getting all affected systems online. … While the company didn’t link the attack to a specific threat group, BleepingComputer has learned that the Akira ransomware operation is behind the breach. A source familiar with the matter also said the ransomware gang stole files from Hitachi Vantara’s network and dropped ransom notes on compromised systems. BleepingComputer was also told that while the company’s cloud services are not impacted, Hitachi Vantara systems and Hitachi Vantara Manufacturing were disrupted as part of the containment effort. Additionally, while Hitachi Vantara’s remote and support operations are down, customers with self-hosted environments can still access their data as usual. …
