Ebay does not operate in Japan as an auction site. Instead we have Yahoo Auctions and more recently Mercari.

Interesting enough Yahoo Japan was/is always a distinct company from Yahoo itself. Japan is special from a silicon valley perspective I guess...

Yahoo Japan had access to Yahoo US's source... auctions in Japan was based on the us auctions, but it continued to run after the us auctions shut down. (I don't know how it evolved after that)

Interesting! perhaps this is why there was no reward offered - there's no real customer data being threatened? Just the passwords/source to their wordpress site?

That's my guess, unless they do some other kind of entreprise business that I am not aware about.
