More Japanese firms hit by large-scale data breaches

JR East said that about 6.09 million customer accounts may have been compromised, while JR Kyushu said about 1.3 million customer accounts may have been compromised. Both were a result of a ransomware attack on IDC Frontier, a cloud services subsidiary of SoftBank, they said Friday.

Bookoff Group Holdings, a secondhand goods retailer, reported that its subsidiary responsible for managing membership data had suffered unauthorized access, possibly resulting in a data breach affecting up to 6.43 million customers.

Daiichikosho, the operator of the Big Echo karaoke chain, also said personal information on about 8.72 million customers may have been compromised due to unauthorized access to a system managed by an external contractor.

The potentially affected information includes email addresses at JR East and customer names, dates of birth and telephone numbers at the other three companies. Adventure said it had confirmed that credit card and passport numbers had not leaked.
