Japan’s Digital Agency said its servers were hit by unauthorized access and the personal data of about 246,000 people may have been exposed. In a statement issued on Friday, the agency said it detected in late June that someone had used a maintenance account to access a large volume of files on its Government Solutions Service Network. A follow-up investigation found that a virtual private network vulnerability may have been exploited in the intrusion. The potentially affected information belongs to civil servants and other individuals who used the system. The agency did not disclose additional details in the brief statement cited by ChainCatcher.
