Secoma, which operates the Hokkaido-based convenience store chain Seicomart, said on the 29th that it may have suffered a leak of about 570,000 members' information following unauthorized external access. The information potentially leaked includes members' names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. No damage, such as fraudulent use of the company's Pecoma Money electronic money service, has been confirmed at this point. According to the company, on the 24th it found one account that had been improperly processed for withdrawal, revealing the possibility that its member server had been accessed without authorization, and it therefore shut down connections to the server.
Secoma disclosed a possible leak of ~570,000 members' data after unauthorized access to its member server, exposing it to data-protection/legal fallout.
