IDC Frontier Reports Unauthorized Access To IDCF Cloud
An outage traced to unauthorized access, rather than a routine failure, puts the incident in security territory and leaves IDC Frontier confirming that unaffected areas are in fact unaffected.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
IDC Frontier said on October 7 that some IDCF Cloud systems were subject to unauthorized access, causing outages in some services. The access occurred around 3:40 a.m. that day and affected the East Japan Region 1. The company is contacting affected customers individually, investigating the outage, and confirming the safety of areas where no outage occurred.
IDC Frontier is handling the incident customer by customer. The affected scope is narrowed to East Japan Region 1, and the company says it is contacting those customers individually rather than issuing a single blanket notice.
At the same time, it is checking the parts of its infrastructure where no outage has occurred, a step that treats the incident as not fully bounded yet. The company said it will disclose any new facts promptly if they come to light, leaving the investigation open.
