How to read this database

  1. Each entry is based on the public statements, news articles or reports linked as evidence. Our service has not independently established these facts.
  2. Certainty reflects the wording of the source. Confirmed: the affected party or authorities have confirmed harm. Possible: a potential leak or harm has been disclosed or reported, or the case involves allegations. Under investigation: whether harm occurred or its extent is being investigated. Unverified report: a report by a user or other involved party without confirmation by a third party or the provider.
  3. Entries marked First-party report are user reports, such as those submitted to a product’s public issues. They do not mean the provider has acknowledged the report as fact.
  4. Dates are the publication or disclosure dates of the sources, and may differ from when the incident occurred. For entries sourced from AIID, the date is the incident date listed in AIID.
  5. Details may change with follow-up reports. Check the source links for the latest information.

Scope of coverage

AI development: Deletion, overwriting or destruction by AI coding agents; authentication or secret-handling flaws in AI-generated code or AI-built apps; supply-chain problems involving AI development tools or packages; attack code created with generative AI; and loss of history or data in AI development services. Deepfakes, general misinformation and autonomous driving are excluded.

Data leaks & unauthorized access: Cases publicly disclosed in Japan in 2026 whose details could be verified in statements by the affected party or a government agency.
