JP: Yakuza Helpline Leak Sparks Fears for Victim Safety

Posted on November 22, 2024 by Dissent

Here’s today’s reminder that it’s not always the huge-number breaches that pose the most risk or actual physical danger to people. Anosha Shariq reports:

A helpline for Yakuza victims faces a shocking data breach, exposing personal details of 2,500 individuals and sparking fears of retaliation and safety risks.

A tragic irony has unfolded as the Kumamoto Prefecture Violence Prevention Movement Promotion Center, dedicated to helping victims of Japan’s infamous Yakuza, has suffered a devastating data breach.

The leak potentially exposed personal information of 2,500 individuals, including victims and those seeking to leave the Yakuza’s grip, raising alarms about their safety and privacy.
