Nikkei Group — one of the world’s largest financial news outlets — announced that its Asia headquarters in Singapore is suffering from a ransomware attack that began on May 13.

The Japanese company, which owns The Nikkei and Financial Times newspapers, said in a statement Thursday that it has reported the attack to Japanese and Singaporean authorities.

While the company claimed that no data leak has been confirmed, it noted that the affected server “likely contained customer data” and that investigators are in the process of “”determining the nature and scope” of the attack.
