Database leak exposes 3.3 million Hello Kitty fans

Database storing 3.3 million sanriotown.com accounts found online

A database for sanriotown.com, the official online community for Hello Kitty and other Sanrio characters, has been discovered online by researcher Chris Vickery. The database houses 3.3 million accounts and has ties to a number of other Hello Kitty portals.

Vickery contacted Salted Hash and Databreaches.net about the leaked data Saturday evening.

The records exposed include first and last names, birthday (encoded, but easily reversible Vickery said), gender, country of origin, email addresses, unsalted SHA-1 password hashes, password hint questions, their corresponding answers, and other data points that appear to be website related.

Vickery also noted that accounts registered through the fan portals of the following websites were also impacted by this leak: hellokitty.com; hellokitty.com.sg; hellokitty.com.my; hellokitty.in.th; and mymelody.com.

Hello Kitty bullet train shown to media ahead of debut

FUKUOKA – West Japan Railway Co. (JR West) showed a shinkansen bullet train featuring Hello Kitty imagery to the media on Monday before its debut later this week.

The special eight-car train, whose white body is decorated with drawn pink ribbons to mimic the look of the popular character of Sanrio Co., was unveiled at the operator’s facility in Fukuoka Prefecture.

It will begin service Saturday on daily round trips between Shin-Osaka Station in Osaka Prefecture and JR Hakata Station in Fukuoka, the company said.

Its interiors also feature images of the cartoon character, with Hello Kitty wearing a crew uniform or carrying local specialty products depicted on the walls, seats and curtains.

What happened to Kitty?

According to the director of Hello Kitty Island, Jacob Crane:

"...[Hello Kitty] suffered in the terrible rainstorm... But we can not call the crane now because of Typhoon 19. We will repair it if the rain stops. "

BAD KITTY!


Hello Kitty manufacturer faces €6.2 million EU antitrust fine
www.neweurope.eu | 14:52 July 9, 2019
The European Commission has fined the Japanese Sanrio Company, Ltd. €6.2 million for banning traders from selling licensed merchandise to other countries within the EEA.
This restriction concerned products featuring Hello Kitty or other characters owned by Sanrio, following the Commission’s opening of an antitrust investigation in June 2017 into certain licensing and distribution practices of Sanrio to assess whether it illegally restricted traders from selling licensed merchandise cross-border and online within the EU Single Market.

I don't understand how this idea of micromanaging distribution to it's own detriment is still a thing here but it's always good for a laugh when they get called out on it in kaigailand.

Has anyone had the misfortune to visit Tama-Centre Station (aka Puroland Gateway) recently?

Let me guess....some sort of horrid "campaign?"
