Recently, our foundation’s website experienced a temporary outage due to unauthorized external access. Upon investigation, we found that the intrusion occurred through the mail magazine system on our website, which subsequently affected the website.
We immediately restored the website, and it is now safe for viewing. However, due to unauthorized access to the mail magazine system, there is a possibility that the information of those who registered for the mail magazine was accessed. At this time, there are no confirmed incidents that would show a possible leak in personal information. However, we deeply apologize for any concerns caused to those who have registered for the mail magazine. The mail magazine registration form is currently being revamped.
From now on, we will send individual apologies and explanations via email to everyone who registered for the mail magazine. Please delete any emails that you do not recognize and contact our foundation if you receive any suspicious emails that might indicate a breach in information.
Our foundation has always endeavored to handle and manage personal information with the utmost care. In light of this incident, we will strive to strengthen our measures and dedicate ourselves fully to prevent the recurrence of such an incident. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience and concern caused.
