Root cause

Unauthorised access on 1 November 2026 to CBcloud's PickGo dispatch system, used for some Japan Post pickup and delivery jobs. Japan Post was told 2 November; leak confirmed 4 November. CBcloud blocked the source, disabled abused accounts and patched the flaw; some functions and overseas access restricted.
