LINE's president Takeshi Idezawa is a member of an expert who is considering countermeasures for the problem that the communication application LINE made the user's personal information accessible to the outsourced Chinese company without sufficient explanation. At the first meeting of the meeting, I apologized, "I am very sorry for the great concern and inconvenience caused to everyone."
After that, it was revealed that access to personal information from China was completely blocked on the 22nd.
It also revealed that some of the operations that had been outsourced to a Chinese company were completed in 23 days.
In addition, we have reiterated our policy of moving all image and video data stored in Korean data centers to Japan in the future.
Suspension of use of Cabinet Office disaster prevention official account
The Cabinet Office has stopped using the official account for disaster prevention in response to the problem that LINE, a major communication app, made the personal information of users accessible to the Chinese company outsourced.
This official account provided an "evacuation behavior judgment flow" that allows you to confirm the evacuation behavior to be taken in anticipation of a typhoon or heavy rain, but personal information was not handled.
