# The donation estimate left with the hash

2026-10-19

Trust Bank says 4,454,097 Furusato Choice members left: name, email, address, phone, a password hash, and the donation-deduction estimate. Cards are not in it. About 1,700 municipalities sit on this portal. They are tenants.

The city is not the portal. The estimate is not the transfer.

Trust Bank said Furusato Choice was reached on 17 October and stopped the service on the 19th. The member count in the notice is 4,454,097. The fields: name, email, address, phone, a hashed password, and the figure the site had calculated for a donation deduction. Cards are not in it. Kyoto’s letter, and others like it, note that more than 1,700 municipalities use the portal and that the number is a national total, still able to move as they keep counting.

A hash is not the password printed in clear. It is also not a finding that the password is safe. People reuse the hometown-tax login. The deduction estimate next to the address is the part a call can read back. It is not a finding that a city treasury was reached.

## What 4.45 million will be asked to cover

It will be briefed as every Japanese donor. It is this portal’s members. A city that only used another site is out. A city that used this one is a tenant of this count, not a second dump. Ashikaga’s crematorium file from yesterday is a different box. Do not add it.

If you have a Furusato Choice login, change the password you reused. Wait for their mail before you treat a screenshot as this file. Do not wait for a public zip before you treat the address and the estimate as exposed. They said the information left.

The city will keep issuing its own notice. Subtract the overlap. The estimate does not become a wire instruction just because the portal is down.
