JP: Yakuza Helpline Leak Sparks Fears for Victim Safety
Briefly

The Kumamoto Prefecture Violence Prevention Movement Promotion Center faced a significant data breach that exposed the personal details of 2,500 individuals connected to Yakuza victims, raising severe concerns for their safety and privacy.
This incident highlights a tragic irony, as the very organization dedicated to protecting vulnerable individuals has now compromised their privacy, potentially putting them at risk of retaliation from the Yakuza.
Despite not being a massive breach in numbers, the sensitive nature of the information revealed in this incident emphasizes the real dangers that such leaks pose, especially for those who are already marginalized.
The Center has publicly acknowledged the phishing incident that occurred on November 15, reinforcing the pressing need for protective measures and better data security in organizations dealing with high-risk populations.
