  "account": "Sourcenext Corp experienced a significant decline in its stock price, dropping by 4.7% to ¥101, marking a year-to-date low. This drop occurred after the company announced a major breach of customer information, potentially leaking up to approximately 22.52 million customer records. The breach, which began around October 9 and was contained by October 13, has raised serious concerns for the company's credibility, especially considering its product lineup includes security software and AI-powered devices. The exposed data includes personal information such as names, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. However, credit card information remained unaffected. The company has acknowledged the breach, filed a criminal complaint with local police, and urged all registered members to reset their passwords. Despite this setback, Sourcenext's stock fell further, falling past the recovery of broader Japanese markets, where the Nikkei 225 rose 1%.",
