Meiji: its Singapore subsidiary was infected with ransomware and LockBit 3.0 demanded $100,000, with no effect on Meiji's business

In the morning, when staff started the office PCs, the printer printed many messages demanding a ransom. An investigation found infection by LockBit ransomware. [1]

Meiji said it had reported to the Singapore government and was checking the damage. The Sankei Shimbun reported that the attacker demanded $100,000 (about 14 million yen) and threatened to publish the stolen information unless paid by September 25. [1]
