LY Corp. Reveals Line Messenger Data Breach

LY Corp., headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, recently disclosed a concerning Line Messenger data breach potentially impacting 440,000 personal records, with a majority linked to the messaging platform. The bre originating from unauthorized access to an affiliate’s computer system back in October, has raised security concerns.

The data exposed in the breach mainly included details of business associates and employees, encompassing email addresses, names, and affiliations. According to LY Corp., the breach was linked to malware infiltrating a computer owned by an employee of a subcontractor working with its South Korea-based affiliate, Naver Cloud. Despite the company’s acknowledgment of the breach’s origins, an official confirmation or detailed response from LY Corp. or Naver Cloud concerning the Line Messenger data breach is pending.

However, the precise location and full scope of the breach remain undisclosed at this time.
