   The company confirmed that the site might have been accessed without authorization, stopped the site and began investigating. [1]

The access hit the winner confirmation pages of a lottery sale of aged Japanese whisky, published on the Japanese and Chinese versions of the mobile and PC sites. The names, email addresses, departure times, flights and winning products of up to 31 winners may have leaked. The company said it would contact each person concerned. [1]

Kansai Airports, the point of contact, told the reporter that the case was under investigation and it could not give details, so the cause and the effect on other services remained unclear. [1]
