This pertains to Japanese ISPs. From the article:
KDDI Corporation, STNet, Inc., JCOM Co., Ltd., Chubu Telecommunications C., Inc., NIFTY Corporation, and BIGLOBE Inc.
KDDI seems to have been the root of the breach, as the other listed ISPs were relying on their email infrastructure/systems.
Seems like the actual scale is unknown, and many of the leaked passwords were, according to KDDI, hashed.
Many? Not all? Sounds strange.
The article says: "Another mitigating factor, according to KDDI, is that some passwords were stored in hashed and/or encrypted form"
There can be Delta to Delphi as total Dexit.
