What's behind Japan's recent surge of corporate cyberattacks?ーNHK WORLD-JAPAN NEWS (youtube.com)
Leaks of personal information, addresses, dl photos.
Citizen (company) has tons of personal info on customers and maybe leaked 100k people's. GMO leaked 940k or more records. Mr Max leaked membership info of 1.7m members. Times Car Share (park24) leaked 6.6m records, including images of drivers licences that ‘could be used as identity verification.’
These records and dl photos will circulate on underground markets now, sold as packages or along with other information often. Almost 100% of the Nikei 225 have had a data breach in the past couple years.
Leaks/breaches of corporate websites and apps jumped up in July.
This is a government-level solution but government is not responsible in any country so far.
