Hitachi Energy Group on Friday said it has been hit by a cyber-attack with unauthorised access to employee data in some countries.

The company said a third-party software provider called FORTRA GoAnywhere MFT (Managed File Transfer) was the victim of an attack by the CLOP ransomware group.

"Upon learning of this event, we took immediate action and initiated our own investigation, disconnected the third-party system, and engaged forensic IT experts to help us analyze the nature and scope of the attack," it said.
