提供汽车共享服务“Times Car Rental”的公司宣布，上周发生的数据泄露事件导致约660万个用户的个人信息被泄露，其中包括个人身份证明的照片——这种类型的数据泄露极为罕见。
The operator of Times Car Rental, a popular car-sharing service, has announced that a data breach last week led to the leak of information associated with 6.6 million accounts, including images of personal IDs — a particularly rare type of breach.
该公司（Times Mobility）于上周五早上首次发现这一安全漏洞，并确认有未经授权的第三方入侵了公司的数据系统；次日早上便切断了入侵者的访问路径。
The firm, Times Mobility, first detected the breach last Friday morning and confirmed that an unauthorized third party had accessed the company’s data, before blocking the access route by the next morning.
据透露，共有160万份文件被非法访问，其中包含用于验证用户身份的文件（例如家庭住址的公用事业账单、以及申请学生优惠计划用户的身份证件照片）。通过驾驶员执照，入侵者还获取了用户的个人照片。
It said that 1.6 million documents had been accessed, including pictures of documents that the company used to verify personal information, such as utility bills for home addresses and student IDs for thoseg up for a student plan. Personal photos were confirmed to have been accessed through driver’s licenses.
此次被泄露的660万个账户既包括当前的用户，也包括曾经的会员。泄露的个人信息包括姓名、家庭住址、电话号码和电子邮件地址，但信用卡信息并未被窃取。
The 6.6 million accounts breached in the hack were of both current and former Times Car and Times Business Service members. Personal account information included names, home addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses. However, no credit card information was accessed.
母公司PARK24在一份声明中表示：“我们已聘请外部专家进行调查，以确定事件的原因和范围。同时，我们也在采取必要措施，包括向个人信息保护机构及警方报告此事。”
“An external specialist is conducting a forensic investigation to determine the cause and scope of the incident,” parent company PARK24 said in a statement. “We are also taking the necessary steps, including reporting the incident to the Personal Information Protection Commission and the police.”
据数据安全专家称，个人照片的泄露非常罕见且令人担忧，因为这可能导致更严重的后果，如身份盗用或滥用需要身份验证的服务。
The leak of personal photos is unusual, according to data security experts, and is concerning because it could open up more malicious uses, including identity theft or the fraudulent use of services that require verification.
信用信息机构Credit Information Center周二表示，由于涉及的数据量巨大，客户很难立即重新核实自己的身份，也无法查看以他们名义生成的贷款或信用记录。
The Credit Information Center, a credit information agency, said Tuesday that due to high volume, it would be difficult for customers to immediately reverify their identities or to check loan and credit disclosures made in their name.
另一家机构日本信用信息参考中心也在周三宣布，该机构收到大量类似请求，导致其智能手机应用处理延误并出现错误。
The Japan Credit Information Reference Center, another agency, also announced Wednesday that they were receiving a high volume of similar requests, leading to processing delays and errors on their smartphone app.
Times Mobility表示，此次事件未影响其服务运营，但该公司已开始联系个人信息遭到未经授权访问的用户。该公司还提醒用户警惕冒充公司的电子邮件、电话及其他消息，并称绝不会通过这些方式索要密码或信用卡信息。
While Times Mobility announced that there has been no effect on its services’ operations, the firm has begun reaching out to users whose information was accessed. It also urged users to be wary of emails, phone calls and other messages impersonating the company, adding that it would never ask for passwords or credit card information through those means.
日本未经授权访问案件数量持续上升。2025年，日本警察厅共记录了7190多起相关案件，较2021年增长逾四倍。
The number of unauthorized access cases has been on the rise in Japan. Over 7,190 incidents were recorded by the National Police Agency in 2025, a more than fourfold increase since 2021.
近几个月来，日本还发生了数起备受关注的案件，包括政府网络遭入侵，导致数十万名员工的信息面临风险，以及冷冻食品物流公司日冷遭到网络攻击，影响了全国的餐厅、超市和学校午餐项目。
There have also been several high-profile incidents in recent months, including the breach of a government network that put the information of hundreds of thousands of employees at risk, and a cyberattack of frozen-foods logistics company Nichirei that affected restaurants, supermarkets and school lunch programs nationwide.
