TOKYO, April 4 (Reuters) - Japanese eyeglass lens maker
Hoya Corp  7741.T  on Thursday said the production of several of
its products have stopped after a system failure, which was
"most likely caused by unauthorised access" to its servers.
    Hoya said the company discovered a system discrepancy in one
of its overseas offices on March 30 and confirmed the disruption
despite its efforts to isolate affected servers.
    The company is investigating whether any of its confidential
or personal data had been compromised and is cooperating with
authorities to resume production as soon as possible, it said in
a statement.
