2026 Sarku Japan — cybersecurity incident made systems inaccessible; SSNs and card details in notices; 687 Texans notified
Data compromised
Name, Social Security number, driver's license or government ID number, and financial account or card information, per the letter excerpt and the Texas filing. Texas lists 687 residents. The total is not disclosed.
Technical writeup
Company-filed notice and letter. A tracker entry dated April 6, 2026 suggests an earlier mention that was not checked. The Sarasota US Topco entity appears in no source reviewed, so country is blank.
Root cause
Sarasota US Topco, which operates Sarku Japan restaurants, discovered on September 7, 2026, that some systems were inaccessible because of a cybersecurity incident, according to its individual notice letter. A leak-site group, TheGentlemen, has claimed the attack; that claim is unverified.
