Asahi Shimbun: up to 70,921 event/contact records may have leaked via Cuenote FC breach

Asahi Shimbun announced on October 29 that unauthorised access to Ymir Link's Cuenote FC may have leaked customer data registered for events and similar activities—not Asahi Shimbun Digital subscription data.

Overview

70,921 records in total; over 90% of about 70,000 are email-only, with some names and school names. This stems from the Ymir Link Cuenote FC intrusion (recorded separately); the figure is a subset of the vendor scope and must not be added to it.
