[ABOUT Winny]
“Winny” said to be the pioneer of blockchain technology used in Bitcoin, NFT, etc.
Developed by Isamu Kaneko (handle name: 47), this file-sharing software uses distributed file system technology to share files among multiple computers connected to the Internet. Anonymity was very high because it developed P2P technology, which was not widely used at the time, and transferred data using a bucket brigade method.
When Mr. Kaneko published “Winny” on the electronic bulletin board site “2channel,” the number of users increased in an instant, and it is said that at its peak, more than 2 million people were using it. Due to its high anonymity, copyrighted data such as movies, games, and music are distributed without permission, and it has been pointed out as a hotbed of copyright infringement. In addition, viruses that exploit its characteristics are also prevalent. When infected, unintended data leaks, such as internal documents of the police and the Self-Defense Forces, customer information of companies, and files owned by individuals. Copies of the leaked files remained on many computers, making them unrecoverable. Chief Cabinet Secretary Abe held a press conference saying, “The surest way to prevent information leaks is to not use Winny on your computer.” became a social problem. Starring:
