GMOペイメントゲートウェイ announced that some customer information may have leaked from a specific function provided to Life Card. The leakage identified so far involves 69 records, including names and contact information.
On 2 November, GMOペイメントゲートウェイ announced that unauthorized activity had occurred in a specific function of the issuing support service it provides to Life Card株式会社, and that some customer information may have been stolen. The unauthorized activity is believed to have occurred on 30 October.
A total of 69 customer records are reportedly affected. These comprise 63 records containing names, email addresses, telephone numbers and partial addresses; 3 records containing combinations of V Preca numbers, V Preca-specific security codes, expiry dates and names; and 3 records containing portions of V Preca numbers.
GMOペイメントゲートウェイ suspended part of the affected service and is implementing necessary measures and verifying its security. It also disclosed that it is taking steps toward resuming the service.
The incident occurred in a specific function provided to Life Card and was operated on a platform different from the issuing support services provided to other customers. It is therefore reportedly not affecting other customers.
