Kadokawa, a prominent Japanese media conglomerate, has faced a major cyber attack that has left several of its properties offline for four days. The incident was first detected on Saturday, June 8, when access to multiple servers became restricted. In response, Kadokawa swiftly shut down the affected servers to safeguard data, acknowledging the likelihood of being targeted in a cyber attack. The company's corporate website remains inaccessible, replaced by a static HTML page, while its video-sharing platform, Niconico, is undergoing maintenance with no access to content. Niconico's team is engaged in rebuilding efforts while investigating the attack's nature. This disruption is significant as Niconico is Japan's second-largest video-sharing site, impacting both users and content creators who depend on the platform for income. Additionally, Kadokawa's e-commerce service, Ebiten, is impacted, limiting functionalities and communication with customers. Although Ebiten assures customers about the security of their data, the ongoing outage reflects the severity of the cyber attack. Kadokawa has not disclosed specific details about the incident or indicated progress in resolving the issue, hinting at a potentially prolonged restoration period for their web infrastructure.
