Following a breach, user IDs and passwords for the Tokyo Olympic ticket gateway were released on a leak website, a government official told Kyodo News on Wednesday. The leak was “not huge,” according to the source, but the IDs and passwords might provide someone access to a person’s name, address, bank account information, and other personal information.
The government source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the organizing body for the Games has initiated an investigation. The hack reportedly includes the names, addresses, and bank account information of individuals who purchased Paralympic tickets, as well as a volunteer portal. They did not specify how many accounts were compromised. The leak was revealed as Japanese musician Keigo Oyamada resigned this week from the team producing Friday’s Olympic opening ceremony after admitting to previously bullying and abusing children with disabilities, and as organizers struggle to turn public opinion in their favor in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
