It has been confirmed that personal information believed to belong to users of GMO has been made public. Regarding the problem of personal information being published on the internet and elsewhere, Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara of the government told a press conference that the government "takes this extremely seriously."
Chief Cabinet Secretary Kihara strongly condemned the act as a "despicable act." Personal information is valuable information that includes names, contact details, and other data. If it is made public, it could lead to damage from fraud, spam emails, and other harms.
