Why it matters

Exposed data includes member names, gender, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, order information, and partial card details: card brand, the last four digits, and expiration date. The company says full card numbers, cardholder names, and security codes were not taken.
Good Smile Company took its online store offline on October 23, when it found the breach, and says it is still investigating. It has reported the incident to Japan's Personal Information Protection Commission, as Japanese law requires.
The company says it has strengthened system security and removed the vulnerability it identified as the cause. Credit card security codes, cardholder names, and all card number digits except the last four are outside the exposed set.
