SPOTLIGHT

An insurance company established in Tokyo who are described as a hub for Asian insurance suffered a data breach last year, however recently the data has made its way in circulation publicly. Since 1986 the company has performed well launching various products and parter companies. The hack happened some time back in 2021 and then the data was sold before being released for general consumption.

With head quarters in Delhi, the company has been running for over a decade. A cyber security company has reached out to the company for comment, the company is yet to confirm or deny the incident.

A ransomware gang posted a message explaining that one of their 'supports' had recently reached out to them. He said a local company scammed him, so they naturally stepped in to help - user information and admin logins were soon leaked.
