Data storage giant Western Digital has confirmed that hackers exfiltrated data from its systems during a \u201cnetwork security incident\u201d last week.<\/p>\n

The California-based company said in a statement<\/a> on Monday that an unauthorized third party gained access to \u201ca number\u201d of its internal systems on March 26.\u00a0Western Digital hasn\u2019t confirmed the nature of the incident or revealed how it was compromised, but its statement suggests the incident may be linked to ransomware<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the investigation to date, the company believes the unauthorized party obtained certain data from its systems and is working to understand the nature and scope of that data,\u201d Western Digital said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet known who was behind the attack. The incident does not appear to have yet been claimed by any major ransomware group.<\/p>\n

Western Digital notes that the incident \u201chas caused and may continue to cause disruption\u201d to the company\u2019s business operations. The company didn\u2019t provide any further information. At the time of writing, Western Digital\u2019s service status website<\/a> confirms that the incident downed its My Cloud network-attached storage (NAS) service, which allows customers to access their files<\/a> from the internet.<\/p>\n

Western Digital said it is \u201cimplementing proactive measures to secure its business operations\u201d and is working to restore impacted infrastructure and services. The company added that it is investigating the incident with an unnamed cybersecurity firm and coordinating with law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Western Digital declined to comment or answer TechCrunch\u2019s questions.<\/p>\n
