Sendai City: My Number card reservation email addresses may have leaked via Arara breach

Sendai City announced on November 6 that unauthorised access to Arara Message, used for completion mail in the TKC-run My Number card reservation system, may have leaked applicants' email addresses.

Last updated: 2026-11-09

Overview

12,211 addresses were registered by November 4, but the city says whether and how many actually leaked is still under investigation, so the count field is left blank. No other fields reportedly at risk. No intrusion into the reservation system itself. This stems from the Arara email-platform intrusion (recorded separately); the registration pool is a subset of the vendor scope and must not be added to it.
