Users can again read purchased works and use the unlimited reading plan in a web browser, and can change member information or cancel monthly and unlimited reading plans. All of these require reissuing a password. The bookshelf app, purchases of works and points, automatic purchases of new releases, site withdrawal, history confirmation and new member registration remain halted as of October 29. NTT Solmare said the bookshelf app will return soon and purchases will resume by payment method. The company said it will not charge, in principle, for unlimited reading and monthly plans during the outage, though some payment methods may still bill and those cases will be handled individually. Points that expired during the suspension will be addressed later.","whyItMatters":"NTT Solmare is reopening read-only access before restoring purchases, so the store's revenue functions stay offline while it works through a breach that exposed 319 member records and up to about 4.2 million log records.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe company issued the update as its fifth report on the incident, dated October 29.
