The intrusion was detected on November 6, and the company blocked the unauthorized access. However, an investigation into the incident revealed that the attacker likely had access to the system since mid-October.

According to the company's notification, the incident impacts individual customers, corporate members, and non-members who placed orders through official Nitori stores and online shops.
