We have confirmed that unauthorized access was made to the servers used by our subsidiaries in China (Nagase Hong Kong, Guangzhou Nagase, and Tianjin Nagase) on April 20, 2023.

In order to prevent further damage, the Chinese subsidiaries promptly disconnected the affected devices from the network, while identifying the extent of the unauthorized access, investigating the cause of the unauthorized access, and working on restoring the system.

The Chinese subsidiaries have resumed their business activities after confirming the safety and security of their operations. There has been no serious disruption to the business of the Chinese subsidiaries at this point in time.

We are proceeding with our incident response to this issue in cooperation with the police, system management companies, and other relevant organizations.

We will make a further announcement if any new facts are reported. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience and concern this may have caused.
