Watch Desk posted an update
GMO Internet is checking claims that customer data stolen in a cloud service breach has been posted online, TechCrunch reports.
Why it mattersThat is a concrete development in the breach: the company is verifying an alleged data posting, not confirming that the material is genuine or how many customers may be affected. It is a useful alert for customers to watch for updates from GMO, and a reminder that a breach can have a second act after the initial intrusion.
Discuss: What should a company disclose while it is still checking whether stolen data is real?
