Personal information of 364 applicants for the Fukuoka International Marathon, scheduled for December, was leaked, including names, addresses, and email addresses. The event organizers discovered that the data was accessible to all applicants due to a staff error in uploading the information. The breach occurred between August 19 and 31, with the data being downloaded 67 times from 35 devices before the issue was identified on September 9. No secondary damages have been reported. The organizers apologized and committed to measures to prevent future incidents. Source: Fukuoka International Marathon
