The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.As a result of a forensic investigation by an external specialist organization, no clear technical evidence indicating the external leakage of data was identified. However, because part of a list of folder and file names had been published on the website of the perpetrator group, it was determined that it would be difficult to rule out the possibility of information leakage.
