Two member files and sixteen accounts

Two member books. Sixteen accounts. The ISP password is not in this sentence.

Sony Network Communications said today that So-net’s member database was reached from outside on 19 October. It confirmed the access on the 23rd, cut the server, and had a field list on the 24th. So-net: 2,141,986 rows — 1,869,771 current, 272,215 who left from March 2026. Plala S-course, the Docomo Hikari hand-me-down: 443,495 — 422,365 current, 21,130 leavers from March. Fields: name, phone, email, user ID, date of birth, gender, the connection ID. Member-file passwords, it says, did not leave. Cards did not. Anyone who left by the end of February is out of both books.

Sixteen bank rows: bank name, bank number, branch, type, number, account name. No PIN. Plala is not in those sixteen. Seven password-reset letters also left. Those seven were reset. NURO and the rest of the Sony Network catalogue, it says, are not in this path.

The two books add to 2,585,481. That is two files, not one unique-person total. A So-net member who also held plala S is two rows until they match.

What 2.58 million will be asked to cover

It will be briefed as every Sony ISP in Japan, and as NURO. It is So-net plus one plala course, from March leavers forward. It will be briefed as passwords. The member book is not that file. Sixteen accounts are sixteen. They are not 2.58 million IBANs.

If you are in So-net or plala S after February, the name, the mail and the birthday are exposed. A mail that already knows the connection ID and asks for the bank PIN is not their letter. The sixteen will already have been written.

Two million is two member files. Keep the sixteen in a different sentence.
