I will not comment on the contents of the article, but the way Newspicks happily publishes one-sided information from a group claiming to be the perpetrators, calling it a scoop, is an act that supports the intimidation of criminals, and I question their decency as a media outlet.

KADOKAWA Corporation
Regarding some reports
Some media outlets have published messages from individuals claiming to be the perpetrators of cyber attacks, including ransomware, against our group.
However, we are posting this information in a way that benefits criminals and may encourage future cyber attacks on society as a whole.
We will strongly protest against the media for reporting in a way that is not true, and will consider taking legal action, including seeking damages.

[Top secret document] Full details of the hackers' 'ransom' demand

Naoyoshi Goto
NewsPicks Editorial Committee Member (New York Bureau)

A large-scale cyber attack has shut down all of KADOKAWA's services, including Nico Nico Douga (a subsidiary of Dwango). NewsPicks has obtained confidential communications between the management team at the center of this attack and the hacker group that is persistently demanding a 'digital ransom.'

We will report on the reality of ransomware, including the severity of the damage it causes, which exceeds expectations.

While many fans are waiting for the service to be restored, it appears that the management team is being forced into extremely tough 'hostage negotiations.' According to the documents obtained, it is possible that the money has already been paid, and attention will likely be focused on future developments.

Addendum: I would like to add one thing in response to the comments.

I am one of the interviewers, but no information was provided by the hackers, and this report does not rely on them in any way. As you can see from reading the article, the reason why several KADOKAWA personnel mentioned in the article agreed to be interviewed is because they feel a strong sense of crisis about what is happening internally.

Scope of the damage
- This affected not only Niconico Video, but KADOKAWA's entire core system.
- Problems occurred with employee ID verification, copy machine use, payroll, and expense settlement.
- Recovery is expected to take more than a month.
