Japanese pharmaceutical firm Shionogi & Co. said that its Taiwanese subsidiary was hit by a cyberattack.
Despite the fact that there was no information disclosed about the innovative coronavirus vaccine it is currently working on.
After a computer in the business's Taipei sales office was compromised with a virus in the middle of October, the company claims that import licenses for medical equipment and employee residency permits were made public on the dark web.
If a ransom is not paid, the attacker has threatened to reveal more details.
No signs of unauthorized access to the systems at Shionogi's offices and laboratory in Japan, the company claimed.
