In August 2021, Tokio Marine Insurance Singapore Ltd. (TMiS), a subsidiary of the Tokio Marine Group, fell victim to a ransomware attack. The company detected the intrusion promptly and took swift action, including isolating its network to contain the threat and prevent further damage. Authorities were notified immediately, and an investigation was launched. Tokio Marine engaged external cybersecurity experts to assess the impact and ensure the integrity of its systems. Fortunately, no evidence of customer data breaches or leaks of confidential company information was found. The attack was confined solely to TMiS, with no impact reported on other Tokio Marine Group entities.
