Unauthorized access, personal data leaks surge in Japan | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
A series of cyberattacks have led to leaks of large amounts of personal data from companies across Japan. Experts say the misuse of AI may be contributing to the growing threat. As this new challenge emerges, how should companies, and society as a whole, respond?

“There's a story going around: after the drone strikes on Yandex data centres, comments on AfD and MAGA accounts collapsed. We monitor 17,000+ politicians, media and civil society accounts in 30+ countries. 50,000+ posts a day. So we checked. We don't see it. 🧵 https://t.co/8quSNosqv0”
Japan’s Nikkei Hits New Record High
The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.8% to trade above 63,700 on Thursday, setting fresh all-time highs as strong corporate earnings and upbeat guidance reinforced investor confidence, while sustained demand for artificial intelligence-related stocks continued to drive gains. Japanese equities also mirrored a tech-led rally on Wall Street overnight, even as accelerating US inflation fueled concerns that the Federal Reserve could still opt for another rate hike. At the same time, markets remained focused on the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping, with discussions expected to prioritize trade relations. Among individual movers, gains were led by Kioxia Holdings (1.7%), Furukawa Electric (1.5%), Advantest (2.8%), Fanuc (10.4%) and Resonac Holdings (15.6%). In contrast, mining firm Mitsui Kinzoku fell 11.8% after issuing a weaker profit forecast for FY2027 despite projecting higher sales.

Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

Data leaks in Japan 2026
I’ve long been critical of the weak cybersecurity in Japan, but this is specifically about the series of data leaks circa September/October 2026 (hoping it won’t go on for longer). This is unfortunately such a huge I Told You So moment for me
Japanese media
Reputations, biases, past controversies. I know about Sankei Shimbun and I have some idea about the national newspapers, but I honestly don’t know anything at all about most local ones. Japan has poor press freedom in general (ranked 62nd out of 180 countries for 2026, and that’s after the ranking went up, not because of improvement in Japan but because other countries’ conditions have worsened)
