Japanese multinational conglomerate Fujifilm says that it has resumed normal business and customer operations following a ransomware attack that forced it to shut the entire network on June 4.

At roughly 10:0 AM EST, Fujifilm asked employees to immediately shut off their computers and all servers on the network after an ongoing network outage blocked access to email, the billing system, and an internal reporting system.

"After that, from June 4th, we started operating servers and computers that were confirmed to be safe, and resumed communication on the network that had been blocked," Fujifilm said in a statement issued earlier today.

"We are pleased to inform you that by today, normal operations for customers and business partners, such as reception of inquiries and orders and shipments of our products, have been restored."

Although in most ransomware attacks, the threat actors are also exfiltrating data before encrypting the victims' systems, Fujifilm stated that the "investigations completed so far have found no evidence of information leakage to the outside world."
