Long running doujinshi event Sunshine Creation (Sankuri) has just had its latest opening (SC43) cancelled after a massive leak of participants personal data; the data leaked is said to cover some 20,000 people, and is now freely available to all comers on the Winny P2P network.
The bungle apparently occurred after a staff member’s computer became infected with a virus, of the sort which spreads confidential information onto the Winny network after being downloaded by the very same network.
Such viruses pervade the outdated Winny network and have become notorious, embarrassing everyone from civil servants and military personnel to celebrities, whilst spreading all manner of classified secrets and sex videos.
In this case, the file apparently contained all the registration information of participating circles from previous events, including participant name, age, sex, address, title and so forth.
As well as being a treasure trove of data for identity thieves, this information may expose the identities of circle members who may otherwise wish to remain anonymous due to the sensitive nature of their doujinshi.
The Sunshine Creation organisers have issued a lengthy formal apology, and felt they had no option but to cancel the pending event, Sunshine Creation 43, in order to pursue security measures in order to prevent any possible relapse. Such cancellations seem a common response to these sort of problems.
A case of shutting the stable door after the horse has already bolted?

the final mentioning of Sunshine Creation was spelled Sunchine Creation
Is there a spell checker somewhere which actually works...
no.
But oh well, the masses will always pinpoint the tiny errors.
oh who cares about a small typo. It happens to everyone. This isnt english class to begin with.
I care. I appreciate being corrected in these matters...
hah this event got served
Oops.
Winny seems to be rather dangerous at times... I think Wikipedia talked about an incident where one of those viruses screwed up the navigation computers on a plane. Annoying stuff, yo.
it wasn't a plane, fortunately (how is a windows app supposed to run on a special-purpose computer that might even have a proprietary os?), but the all nippon airways, and the okayama police prefecture that got freed from their sensitive data.
its probably responsible to the dying economy EVERYWHERE!!!
That's why I'm becoming more and more afraid of giving my personal info up to all sorts of events, promos, and businesses out there...
There will always be some stupid dumbass to get computers with sensitive info infected with trojan horses and stuff.
Who the hell keeps their sex videoes on there PC? Ive always kept mine on good old fasioned VHS :D
Anyone who downloads them >.<.
VHS?
LMAO!
Hey, he didn't say beta-Max so I don't see the problem LOL
i prefer pc, more freedom, and vhs is obsolete
VHS just makes it even more secure as nobody else has the media to play it back. Of course, you also have to worry about the tape itself degrading, but if it's important enough...
Never heard of them VHS. Is it a Sony?
ITS A SONY! Props on that reference, assuming it was one and your not 10 years old.
I read this and the first thing I thought of was Biohazard lol
Ouch, that really hurts, how can a high ranking official spoil the party because they not careful with the computer, geez.
Anyone please dare to post up the private information please lol. j/k
They said that it's private information from 2002 - 2007 right?
Iono it has to be conspiracy plot they want to get thier hands on the supporters of the 'dark side(non-ero)' on a couple artists. A yukaza murder plot and not the character assassination plot.
That's fucked up...
All the hard work that were put into organizing this got compromised 'coz of a single computer virus >.>
Damn, don't they ever learn? Its a good thing I stopped using P2P programs (except torrents) and just rely on good ol' Google search and a file sharing site.....
