The hacker gained access to the email addresses of users in the metaverse. After that, emails containing a dangerous virus were sent from the hacked computer on behalf of The Sandbox administration. If the recipient opened the link in the email, malicious software was automatically installed on their computer. The virus transmitted all personal information stored on the computer to the hackers. The Sandbox advises users not to open any links and to implement two-factor authentication for their accounts.

The Kazoku Hikikomori Japan project will bring Tokyo's social recluses, known as hikikomori, back into society. Six hybrid meetings will be held in Tokyo's Edogawa Ward for people who are struggling with social integration. Hikikomori will be able to participate in the project in three different ways: physically, virtually (in the metaverse), or or in a safe physical shelter. The organizers will set up a location where recluses will have the desire to interact with others. Experts estimate that between 1 and 2 million Japanese people identify themselves as hikikomori.
