Hacker claims sale of 101 million Rakuten member records
Original: 楽天会員
A hacker is claiming to be selling the personal data of around 101 million Rakuten members, with samples reportedly listing names, addresses and point information. The company behind the warning, Rocket Boyz, notes that the source of the alleged leak and its authenticity have not been verified. The claim is drawing attention in Japan as Rakuten has not confirmed a breach.
Why now: A claim of a massive leak of Rakuten customer data would affect a huge share of Japan's population, so people are checking whether it is real.
