LINE Pay, a smartphone payment company, announced that some users' payment information was leaked and could be viewed on the Internet.
No impact on users has been identified so far, but the company warns that the information could be misused.
According to LINE Pay, about 51,500 information about domestic users who settled in the campaign during the period from December 26th to April 2nd last year was leaked to the outside.
It is said that it contains the date and time and amount of payment, as well as information to identify users and merchants within the app.
In September, a person in charge of a group company who was investigating points mistakenly published this information on a site for software developers on the Internet, and it is ready to be viewed until the 24th of last month. It means that.
The company says that the user's name, address, phone number, credit card number, etc. have not been leaked, and that the information that was accidentally disclosed was deleted from the Internet, but the information was misused and a suspicious message was sent. We are calling attention to the possibility that you will receive it.
