Unauthorized access announced on March 21 of last monthbyThe possibility of leakage of personal information about 260,000 (possibly including a credit card number in the worst case)Actually, it was not written on the page of the press release at this time, but to Vector who is registering the author as of March 23, a slightly different sentence comes from the media department of Vector Inc. It arrived.

Regarding the Vector software library, we are currently working on
There was no trace of unauthorized access.
Therefore, at the moment the danger of leakage of information etc registered by the author is extremely high
It seems to be low, but we will contact you as soon as the impact is confirmed.

Furthermore, this sentence has the following continuation, and it is announced that a failure of the mail server has occurred.

Also, on March 21 (Wednesday) a hardware failure has occurred in the server that delivers mail to the author
Because it occurred, we are sending "software announcement announcement" etc. that we are sending at the time of software release
We are in a state where you can not send e-mail.
This is a different event from the above illegal access to our server,
I would like to have more time to restore the server.

In addition, Vector software information mail service "BeckleIt is written as follows.

In addition, thinking carefully well since entering in April, I did not receive the e-mail with the subject "[Vector] Request to check the registration content" that should be sent at the end of every month, I thought "?" However, it became finally arrived today that the e-mail with the subject "【Vector】" Apology on unpublished e-mail issue "" Please confirm your registration content "arrived from the vector.

It is a vector.

As to the possibility of "about 260,000 personal information leaks due to unauthorized access", what has become eventually unknown at the moment is yet to be clearly identified and "On the possibility of leakage of customer information due to unauthorized access"Last update date is stopped at" 2012.03.30 17: 20 ".


As for "compensation, etc., we will guide you as soon as possible" and is also written, and the state of the universe as to how the final range of influence is limited is still being kept, and on the contrary, the hardware of the mail server Including the shocking fact that two weeks have elapsed since the disaster but still not recovering, it only makes a bad feeling somehow, I am very worried about what will happen in the future.
