Personal data possibly leaked from Susaki fishing information site in Kochi; up to three users affected

According to reports, a Tokyo company that manages the server for the fishing information site "釣りバカ市須崎" notified the site on October 16 that the server had been attacked, and the site suspended its service to conduct an investigation. The scope of impact is reported to possibly include names, email addresses, phone numbers, inquiry contents and other information from users who used the inquiry form between July 2025 and July 2026.

The number of users of Susaki City's fishing information page is limited, and city records indicate that the number of users during the relevant period is at most three. The article reports there is no evidence that the leaked inquiry contents have circulated on the dark web, but notes that the specific inquiry topics could have varied widely, including "catch reports and restaurant recommendations."

This incident shows that personal information leaks can occur for small regional sites as a result of damage to the server management company. Reports state that individual outreach to users and continued investigation for recurrence prevention are being carried out, and that there is no confirmation at this time that data has been distributed externally.

The information in this report is based on an article distributed by SoraNews24, which referenced regional reporting such as by Kochi Shimbun. Further details may emerge once official primary sources (municipal announcements or releases from the management company) are confirmed.
