Yet another major Japanese firm hacked — now furniture giant Nitori says hackers stole 37.6 million customer records
The hole was plugged and attackers ousted but the investigation continues.
Japanese furniture giant Nitori has disclosed that it suffered a cyberattack, which may have compromised the personal and business information of up to 37.6 million customers. The stolen data included names, email addresses, postal addresses, phone numbers, gender information, and birth dates. However, passwords and payment details remained unaffected.
Nitori reported the intrusion on November 6, 2026, after discovering unauthorized access to its systems. The company immediately removed the intruder and initiated an investigation. It has since remedied the vulnerabilities exploited and strengthened its monitoring systems. Nitori also warned customers to be vigilant against phishing attempts and fraudulent activities.
The breach follows a string of cyberattacks against Japanese companies, including Iris Ohyama, GMO, and Capcom, all of which have not yet claimed responsibility.
