Japan's Largest Taxi Operator Shuts Down Systems After Cyberattack

Nihon Kotsu, Japan's largest taxi operator, has announced that its systems were compromised in a cyberattack.

According to the company, the incident forced it to shut down part of its internal infrastructure in order to contain the fallout from the attack.

The company has yet to disclose details about the nature of the attack, the scale of any data breach, or a possible ransom demand.

Nihon Kotsu is Japan's largest taxi operator, and taking part of its systems offline could affect the operation of its taxi-hailing services and the company's internal business processes.
