CAPCOM revealed on Tuesday the results of its investigation on the ransomware attack on its network in November.
According to IT specialists, a cyberattack was carried out on an older backup Virtual Private Network (VPN) device that had been maintained at
CAPCOM's North American subsidiary, in October.
CAPCOM had already introduced a different, new model of VPN devices. However, the subsidiary kept one older VPN device as an emergency backup, due to burden on the company's network from the spread of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The older VPN device was the target of the attack, and has since been removed from the network.
