Fishing website in Susaki, Japan hit by data leak affecting all 3 users

Original: Fishing website for Susaki, Japan, hit by data leak, all 3 users affected

A fishing information website operated in Susaki, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, has suffered a data leak, according to Soranews24. The city says all three registered users of the site were affected, making the breach tiny in scale but widely noted for its unusual proportions. The story is drawing amused attention online, with many commenting on the contrast between the seriousness of a data leak and the minuscule number of people whose information was exposed.

Why now: The absurdly small number of affected users makes an otherwise routine data breach story amusing and highly shareable.
