Eager to move forward after <\/a>the June 8 cyberattack claimed by the hacker group Black Suits<\/a>, the Kadokawa Group issued a press release<\/a> on July 29 regarding its current and future restoration efforts for its Dwango subsidiary.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dwango, a Japanese telecommunications and media company that owns the video streaming site Niconico and whose subsidiaries include game developer and localization company Spike Chunsoft, received the brunt of the recent cyberattack on the Japanese media conglomerate. The p<\/a>ersonal data of all Dwango employees was leaked, alongside legal documents and data related to Dwango\u2019s contractors<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Niconico front, Dwango plans on resuming the website\u2019s major services like Nico Nico Video and Nico Nico Live Streaming on August 5, 2024. Full restoration of Niconico\u2019s services is expected to take place sometime in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kadokawa\u2019s emergency shutdown of related servers in response to the cyberattack also negatively impacted their distribution system for manga and other publications, causing the company to briefly return to analog methods of distribution. According to their press release, Kadokawa aims to return shipping levels to normal sometime in mid-August before increasing shipments and sales. The company then plans to compensate for pending shipments and product shortages that occurred due to the cyberattack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to wholesale products, Kadokawa aims to correct any account authentication issues with its associated online shops by introducing alternative authentication functions, with back-up plans in place should they fail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kadokawa has yet to disclose the full extent of the cyberattack as well as its impact on the company\u2019s business performance. The company plans to release more information regarding both issues as they get resolved. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
