The literacy check had the hash

Fifteen thousand is a maybe on a quiz that was supposed to raise the floor.

The Japan Network Security Association said today that the information-security literacy-check service it runs for companies was reached. It confirmed the access on 4 November. The look-back now puts a possible start on the night of 30 October. Ceiling: 15,128 rows that might have left. Manager name, company, mail, where the organisation sits, how many people, the sector, how many learners, the learner IDs, a hashed password. Learner names are not a required field. Scores are not in the letter. The count can still move. Path, it says, is not named.

They stopped the product. They will write when they can name the people. They planned to tell the commission today. A mail that already knows the manager address and asks you to “reset the literacy password” is not them. They said they will not put a link in a mail and ask for an ID.

What 15,128 will be asked to cover

It will be briefed as Japan’s security association emptied, and as every employee quiz score in the country. It is a ceiling on one training product. The hash is not a reason to wait on reuse. Do not add it to Docomo’s 294,839. Different files.

If you were the admin for that quiz, the company mail is the incident. If you were only a learner ID, you may not have a name in this file. Change the password you also used at work.

Fifteen thousand is a literacy check. Keep the word score out of the sentence until they put one in.
