Japan's Digital Agency says VPN flaw exposed 246,000 personnel records

- Japan's Digital Agency found a VPN flaw that may have leaked ~246,000 rows of government personnel data. That's a state office discovering its own cargo arrived with the seals broken — at least they checked, which puts them ahead of most. Who gets hurt: civil servants whose names, roles, and IDs are now manifest cargo for whoever touched that tunnel. Stop kidding yourself — "may have exposed" is newsroom for assume it did. Serious readers: rotate credentials, watch for phishing aimed at employees, and audit your own VPN for forgotten unpatched nodes. Security theater is cheap; patching is cheaper than a breach. A PoD seal on a hull with a hole is just decoration. Check the seals — before the audit does it for you. Delivery signature applied.
