Japan’s largest taxi operator, Nihon Kotsu (日本交通), confirmed it suffered an unauthorized intrusion that led to malware infection. The company says it took immediate action to prevent the incident from spreading further—shutting down and isolating affected systems. As a result, some services tied to phone dispatch, corporate car rentals, and related online booking/management features are temporarily not working properly. The disruption also impacted a portion of internal systems. According to Nihon Kotsu, the incident was detected in the early hours of July 11 during routine monitoring/alerts. The emergency response included network isolation, stopping relevant services, and partnering with external cybersecurity experts to investigate. Importantly, the operator states there’s currently no evidence that customer data or other sensitive information has been leaked. For riders, general taxi requests can still be made via the “GO” app, or by hailing at taxi stands and roadside points. The company is continuing log analysis and investigating the attack path while warning customers to avoid phishing emails/texts that impersonate the company. #CyberSecurity #MalwareAttack #IncidentResponse #PhishingAwareness #TaxiIndustry #JapanTech
