Nidec says a ransomware attack hit part of the server environment at its Taiwanese subsidiary, Nidec Chaun Choung Technology, and the attackers are now demanding $2 million. The company said the June 22, 2026 incident led it to shut down the affected server and network to contain the damage and that it is investigating possible data leakage and any effect on production and shipping. Blackfield claims it stole data and threatened to publish or sell it if Nidec does not negotiate.
Why it matters: This is a disruption and extortion risk for a large global manufacturer whose products feed automotive, computing, robotics, and other supply chains. Organizations connected to Nidec should watch for follow-on fraud or leaked documents, while manufacturers should review ransomware containment, segmentation, and backup recovery plans.
