TOKYO, Mar 27 (Pulse News Wire) – ZUU CO.,LTD. (4387.T) reported a fraudulent fund transfer involving ¥96 million from its account on March 19, 2026.
The incident occurred when a third party impersonated a company officer through a business chat tool and made unauthorized transfer instructions.

In response, ZUU is conducting a detailed investigation with external experts and reviewing its security standards and financial governance comprehensively. Regarding the impact on performance, ZUU anticipates potential special losses based on the amount transferred but continues to assess the final loss and overall effect on operations.
