At around 8 p.m. on Friday, October 25th, the server became overloaded and the service was stopped, then disconnected from the server and resumed. While continuing to investigate the cause, at around 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 26th, a different server from the previous day became overloaded and the service was suspended again. After that, it was discovered that the server had been infected with cryptocurrency mining malware known as 'RedTail,' and the malware was removed. The resumption of the service took longer than expected because we took extra care to ensure safety, but the service was resumed after safety was confirmed. At this time, there is no risk of personal information being leaked. If any new incidents become known in the future, we will notify you promptly.

As I answered in the interview, I think it's quite important for both the sender and the receiver to be freed from the need to create a buzz.

Of course, there is something fun about social media, which is filled with a lot of noise, but there are times when you want to speak or listen quietly at a moderate volume.

Personally, I think it's important to be able to use them according to your mood at the time. Don't rely on just one thing, have multiple things.

It is true that the recommendation algorithm has done a good job of creating a sense of dynamism, but it is probably not healthy to have a loud ad truck driving through a quiet vacation home area.
