Why it matters
Nearly two weeks after pulling the service, NTT Solmare has restored only the read-and-cancel half of Comic CMOA, leaving purchases and new signups shut while it works through a leak that touched about 4.2 million log entries.
Key Facts
- NTT Solmare announced on Thursday that Comic CMOA has partially resumed service.
- Comic CMOA suspended service on October 15 due to an unauthorized external access.
- Users must reset their password to use the restored features.
- NTT Solmare confirmed 319 items of registration information on the member database were leaked.
- Members outside Japan still cannot access the site due to an overseas and VPN restriction.
The manga service went down October 15 over an unauthorized external access that leaked member data. Purchases, new registration, and history checks remain offline, and access from outside Japan is still blocked.
Password resets are now required before any of the restored features work, and the bookshelf is listed as coming back soon. Purchases and point purchases will return payment method by payment method, according to NTT Solmare. Automatic purchase of new releases, unsubscribing, new member registration, and checks of points, purchase, and subscription history are still down.
The company asked users to watch for suspicious messages and to change passwords anywhere they reused the same email and password combination. Readers outside Japan remain locked out by the site's overseas and VPN restriction, a point the latest notice does not address.
