(Updates with NTT Data comment in paragraph 3, share price in
paragraph 5)
TOKYO, July 3 (Reuters) - Japan's NTT Data Group
9613.T said on Wednesday its Romania unit was hit by an
instance of unauthorised access in June.
The company is investigating how the access, which occurred
on June 14, happened and whether information was leaked, a
spokesperson said.
NTT Data said the access was detected on an old network that
the Romanian unit was no longer using as its main network.
It had acquired all of the shares in a Romanian information
technology service company in 2013 to make it a subsidiary.
Shares of NTT Data fell as much as 6.55% on Wednesday
compared with a 1.26% gain in the benchmark Nikkei .N225
index.
