DOCOMO Pacific details cyber security attack; customer data unaffected, but system restoration ongoing
DOCOMO Pacific has confirmed that their network experienced a "cyber security incident" early Friday morning, in which "some of our servers" were targeted. The telecomm company indicated that the system intrusion was isolated, without damage to their customer data, mobile network, or fiber services.
However, other service has been impacted as a result of the incident, with CEO Roderick Boss writing in a press release, "We are working to restore service as soon as possible."
Affected customers are being encouraged to use DOCOMO Pacific mobile data plans to tether access to other devices, indicating such could be done "at no additional cost".
An ETA for full system restoration could not be provided.
Earlier this week, the Guam Memorial Hospital also confirmed that it was the victim of an apparent security breach impacting its internal network on March 2. The medical facility indicated an ongoing investigation by the FBI into that matter.
