Following reports of a defect in PHP and concerns that the risk of unauthorized access and other incidents was high, the Yamanashi Chuo Bank temporarily suspended part of its website and services including ordinary deposit account opening in order to ensure security. This has restricted the functions of the bank's online service counter.
Some supermarkets in the prefecture have become unable to accept their own electronic money, while moves to suspend some website functions at the prefectural government and municipalities in Yamanashi are also spreading, affecting local government services.
These measures have spread to multiple organizations, and further updates are awaited regarding subsequent responses and the timing of service resumption. Banks, local governments and commercial facilities are expected to implement appropriate measures, identify the scope of the impact and provide information.
