Japan's Muji suffers personal data leak! Over a million member records leaked, President apologizes: Full compensation for losses ZH日無印良品爆個資外洩! 逾百萬會員資料流出 社長致歉 : 全額補償損失
Newtalk新聞 日本知名零售品牌「無印良品」(MUJI)營運公司良品計畫今(12)日召開記者會,承認公司系統日前遭到駭客非法入侵,導致多達 109 萬筆會員信用卡相關資料面臨外洩風險,其中約34 萬 5000 張卡片目前仍處於有效狀態。由於該批資料原定於 2021 年全面刪除,卻在未經遮蔽處理的情況下持續保存至今,良品計畫承認內部管理出現重大疏失,並承諾將全額負擔換卡費用及可能的盜刷損失。 綜合《讀賣新聞》與《WWD JAPAN》等日媒報導,良品計畫社長清水智在記者會剛開始便鞠躬致歉,針對公司未能防堵非法入侵、原應銷毀的資料仍留存系統,以及無印良品網路商店長時間暫停服務對顧客造成的困擾,表達深切歉意。 良品計畫說明,本次受影響的對象為 2021 年 7 月以前申辦聯名信用卡「 MUJI Card 」的會員,外洩風險資料涵蓋信用卡號碼、會員識別碼與出生日期,總計約 109 萬筆。良品計畫解釋,過去為提供 MUJI Card 會員專屬優惠,曾直接以信用卡號作為身分識別依據,直到 2021 年 7 月系統改版後才改用其他識別碼。清水智坦承,按當時內部規範,舊有的卡號資料應全數刪除,卻因未確實執行而留存至今。 更令外界關注的是,這批留存的信用卡號碼並未經過隱藏部分數字的「模糊處理」,而是以完整的 16 位數形式保存。清水智坦言,未對卡號進行遮蔽保護是本次事件最嚴重的疏失,至於未能落實刪除規範的原因究竟是人為疏失或系統問題,目前仍在進一步調查中。不過他也強調,消費者目前在無印良品網路商店登錄的信用卡資訊,均已符合安全標準並完成遮罩處理。 此外,針對受影響的會員,良品計畫承諾將全額負擔 …

Japan plans to expand Self-Defense Forces' authority, enabling AI use against infrastructure cyberattacks even in peacetime ZH日本擬擴大自衛隊職權 平時也能用AI防基礎設施網攻
Newtalk新聞 日本政府為保護電力、通訊及金融等重要基礎設施企業免受網路攻擊,計劃讓自衛隊在非戰時就能運用人工智慧(AI)主動偵測系統中的異常活動及網路攻擊痕跡,相關方針將納入預定年底修訂的「國家安全保障戰略」等安保3文書,目前不打算另行修法。 根據日本經濟新聞報導,在平時主動搜尋潛在威脅的作法,稱為「威脅狩獵」(Threat Hunting)。自衛隊過去僅針對組織內部的系統進行相關作業,未來將把範圍擴大至重要基礎設施企業,進一步強化自衛隊在網路防禦領域的職責。 日本政府已向執政黨提出相關構想,計劃讓自衛隊網路防衛隊在接獲民間企業請求後,分析企業系統紀錄及網路通訊狀況,透過AI找出是否存在惡意軟體感染、外部非法入侵的痕跡,或與平常不同的可疑通訊行為。 不過,自衛隊在調查企業系統紀錄及通訊資訊時,仍須依循現行制度,取得企業同意及獨立機關核准,不允許自衛隊任意查閱民間企業的系統紀錄。 此外,自衛隊也將在情報蒐集、攻擊風險評估等各階段導入AI,加快判斷及處置速度。一旦發現重大攻擊威脅,也可進一步採取「無害化措施」,包括入侵攻擊來源伺服器,停止或刪除惡意程式,阻止攻擊持續擴大。 根據日本今年10月部分施行的「主動式網路防禦法」,當網路攻擊可能危及國家或國民安全時,自衛隊及警方得以實施「無害化措施」。不過,相關行動必須符合沒有其他應對方式,且具有重大性及緊急性等條件。 依照現行分工,一般涉及民眾生活及企業的網路犯罪,主要由警方負責處理;若政府系統遭到攻擊,或出現警方難以單獨應對的高度複雜攻擊,則由自衛隊與警方共同處置。 日本政府擴大自衛隊職責的背景,在於針對電力、通訊等重要基礎設施的網路攻擊接連發生,加上利用AI尋找系統漏洞的攻擊手法增加,使網路安全威脅日益嚴峻。 日本政府上一次於2022年修訂安保3文書時,首次提出導入「主動式網路防禦」,當時主要著眼於戰時或緊急事態下,應對具有國家背景的高度複雜網路攻擊。如今考量平時的關鍵基礎設施同樣面臨威脅,日本政府決定進一步擴大自衛隊的防禦角色,強化平時的網路安全防護能力。延伸閱讀:Anthropic IPO驚傳變數!693億美元募資緊急撤回 估值傳下修至1.3兆美元黃仁勳不只是輝達門面!CNN揭科技產業「關鍵人物風險」 企業命運恐繫一人今晨急凍13.4度!明起全台逐日回暖 週末鋒面掠過「再跌回20度」2檔主動式ETF首日掛牌雙紅!復華00418A爆量、玉山00413A漲逾2%笑也不行?鄭麗文警告秦慧珠踩紅線 莊瑞雄:選前急著找戰犯

MUJI Japan hit by personal data leak; 1.09 million credit card records may have been accessed ZH日本無印良品爆個資外洩 109萬筆信用卡資料恐遭存取
Newtalk新聞 日本「無印良品」(MUJI)爆發個資外洩疑慮,營運公司良品計畫今天宣布,約109萬筆信用卡會員資料可能遭到外部人士非法存取,其中包含完整信用卡號,且約34萬5000張信用卡目前仍有效。 朝日電視台報導,無印良品10月30日公布,最多可能有2726萬筆顧客資料外洩,涉及的資訊包括電子郵件地址、出生年月日及性別,不包含信用卡資訊、姓名及住址。 不過,良品計畫今天公布最新調查結果,發現可能遭到外部存取的資料範圍進一步擴大,包括約109萬筆「MUJI Card」信用卡會員資訊,涉及完整信用卡號、會員ID及出生年月日。 MUJI Card是由日本信用卡公司Credit Saison發行的信用卡,此次受影響的資料涉及2021年7月以前申辦的會員,其中約34萬5000張信用卡目前仍有效,其餘則已失效或解約。良品計畫表示,可能遭到存取的資料不包含持卡人姓名、信用卡有效期限及安全碼(CVV)。 良品計畫說明,2021年7月以前,公司為了向MUJI Card會員提供專屬優惠,曾蒐集信用卡卡號等資訊,這些資料至今仍保留在系統內。發卡公司Credit Saison目前已加強監控信用卡是否遭到盜刷,持卡人也可以視需要申請補發信用卡。 另一方面,原先公布最多約2726萬筆可能受影響的顧客資料,經調查發現,除了MUJI App使用者,也包含未使用App、僅註冊無印良品網路商店的會員。 受影響的資料項目除了電子郵件地址、出生年月日及性別,也新增會員ID。其中約52萬筆資料還包含姓名、住址及電話號碼。 此外,約120筆曾在MUJI App或無印良品網路商店登錄信用卡資訊的使用者資料,也可能遭到外部存取,涉及信用卡號前6碼、末2碼及持卡人姓名。 良品計畫表示,將陸續透過電子郵件或郵寄方式通知受影響的顧客,並呼籲持卡人確認信用卡消費明細,若發現不明請款或非本人消費紀錄,應向發卡公司查詢。 公司強調,截至目前為止,尚未確認相關資料流入暗網等管道,也未發現個資遭到濫用所造成的實際損害。MUJI App及無印良品網路商店目前均正常營運,公司將持續調查事件原因及影響範圍。延伸閱讀:永豐銀完成異常轉帳款項全額返還 全面強化資安防護機制日本退稅綁卡藏資安危機!4大系統「3家要安全碼」林氏璧1招神破解台日年底簽貿易協議? 卓榮泰不證實、也不否認又來…第19次?北韓朝日本海發射多枚「飛彈」 傳射程不及300公里日本退稅更方便!東京銀座設2自助退款機 周邊血拚完就能直接領現金

Japan tax refund card binding hides security risks! 4 major systems, 3 require security codes; Lin Shih-pi offers a clever solution ZH日本退稅綁卡藏資安危機!4大系統「3家要安全碼」林氏璧1招神破解
Newtalk新聞 日本退稅制度改採「先付含稅價、後退稅」後,出現了許多亂象。旅日達人林氏璧指出,日本四大退稅系統中,竟有3家要求旅客在綁定退款信用卡時輸入「安全碼」並進行預授權試刷,不僅容易因收不到跨國簡訊驗證而卡關,更潛藏個資外洩與盜刷風險,因此提出「消費與退款脫鉤」破解奇招,可兼顧退稅權益與用卡安全。 日本退稅新制上路後,不少旅客需要先到日本退稅網站登記退款信用卡。不過就有旅客發現,在日本退稅網站登記退款信用卡時,竟需要輸入CVV、CVC等安全碼,接著系統還會進行預授權試刷;因為這一步驟需要簡訊認證,導致很多人卡在這裡,就如同在迪士尼APP消費時很多人會卡住一樣。 對此,林氏璧在臉書粉專「日本自助旅遊中毒者」指出,日本四大退稅系統中,僅有Global Blue不需要安全碼,只要輸入卡號和到期日即可;其他三間包括J-TaxRefund、PIE VAT、JPrefund則全部都需要。他直言「這是非常違反直覺且不合理的設計」,從金融實務來看,如果單純只是要把錢退回信用卡,應該只需要16碼卡號與有效期限,根本不需要安全碼。 林氏璧推測,這可能是廠商便宜行事的結果,他們沒有另外開發系統,而是直接使用電商結帳的綁卡驗證模組,並非專門為了退稅去開發獨立的單向匯款系統。除了造成不便外,近期日本資安事件頻傳,如果這樣完整交出信用卡資料,一旦面臨個資外洩事件,後果將不堪設想;另外也有人擔心,J-TaxRefund的同意條款中,可能會讓資訊傳到中國去。 面臨以上狀況,林氏璧建議三個應對方式:第一,考慮直接放棄退稅,當個快樂的納稅人;第二,還是辦理退稅,但不登錄網站也不登錄信用卡,直接到機場看是否能成功退現金,不過這部分會另收約1%手續費;第三,由於付款方式和退款方式完全是脫鉤的,在店內付款時可以用平時習慣使用的信用卡,但同時另外準備一張額度低、平時沒在用的信用卡,專門作為退款使用。 林氏璧強調,只要去一次日本,四大退稅公司大概就都建立好帳號了,且只要建這一次,之後就可以繼續使用(僅J-TaxRefund一定要有交易後才可以)。此外,在綁定完後,還可以直接於銀行APP關閉這張卡的海外與線上交易功能,應該是不會影響到收款的。至於退回來的稅金,由於是退回信用卡帳戶,只能用來折抵下期帳單。延伸閱讀:(影)煙花尾巴孵新颱風!準「查帕卡」成颱機率逾5成 最快11/8生成不只低溫探19度!明晚東北季風增強「海面飆10級陣風」 5大特點一次看髮型師日本獨旅失聯「找到了」!桃市警:家屬證實人身平安台日年底簽貿易協議? 卓榮泰不證實、也不否認傳台日年底簽署全面貿易協議 林佳龍樂觀其成、經貿辦沒有回應
