At approximately 7pm (JST) on 31 October there were some problems with the PC version of LINE. Some users may have experienced random messages from unknown users during their chats caused by temporary system problems which occurred for a few minutes. We have rushed to fix this and the problems have now been rectified. 

 In addition to fixing the problem, we have also deleted the contents of the messages sent from unknown users and you should be able to login an enjoy the PC version of LINE without any further problems. 

 Furthermore, those who were forcefully logged out of the PC version of LINE during the problem will be able to login as normal. 

 If you were affected please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused on this occasion.

 We will of course, keep working hard on improving the stability of our systems. 

 Thank you very much for reading and please continue to enjoy our LINE service. 

 We will be releasing a formal statement about this issue at a later date.
