KDDI detected unauthorized access on June 17 after attackers exploited a vulnerability in unnamed third-party software, then blocked the intruders and notified Japanese regulators.\n\nThe affected providers — STNet, KDDI Web Communications, JCOM, Chubu Telecommunications, NIFTY, and BIGLOBE — span current, former, and inactive accounts. Exposed data includes email addresses and passwords, some of which were hashed, KDDI said.\n\nKDDI has urged customers to reset their passwords immediately and enable two-factor authentication where available. The breach is one of the largest disclosed by a Japanese telecom in recent years, highlighting growing risks tied to shared third-party infrastructure across ISPs."}}
