Japan's Digital Agency Suffers Data Breach via AI Web Builder Studio

Japan's Digital Agency reported that a hacker attack on websites built using the AI web platform Studio resulted in the leakage of over 13,000 private user records submitted through online forms between May 2021 and March 2023. This incident highlights growing cybersecurity vulnerabilities associated with no-code and AI-driven web development platforms, especially when utilized by government agencies handling sensitive citizen data. The leaked data includes submitters' names, email addresses, and consultation bodies, encompassing public comments, vaccine certificate inquiries, and recruitment questions, though no secondary misuse has been detected as of October 22.
