akiraThis record tracks a ransomware attack claimed by the akira group against Yamaha Canada Music Ltd. It collects the publicly disclosed attack details — sector, location and timeline — as published on the operator's leak site and indexed by Breach House.
Window Zero
EXPOSURE GAPWindow Zero is the time the breach stayed in the open before anyone said so — the gap between when the attack was first discovered on the operator's leak site (t1) and when it was publicly disclosed (t2). The wider this window, the longer victims, staff and customers were exposed with no warning.
Attack Summary
Yamaha Canada Music was set up in Winnipeg in 1969. The company owns and operates a corporate Yamaha Music School in Toronto. All national Yamaha programs are developed in conjunction with the Yamaha Music Foundation in Japan. The communication between Canada and Japan seems to be very poor so they cannot come to a solutionregarding the breach. We decided not to wait for them to realizewhat is happening and are going to upload their data here. Soon you will see a good amount of personal documents of employees andand contractors as well. Valid credit cards full info, medical information and tons of operational docs. More likely, everything will be uploaded next week.
