>AKA Virtual announces they intend to launch an EN branch "coming soon".
>Estella Cliffall of VRevire announces that she will take a hiatus due to "internal situations".
>VSPO's Audition form has a security leak discovered that permits the viewing of over 7000 applicants' personal information by users in the general public. While the exploit no longer exists to allow new users access to the data, VSPO did not create a new form, so those that previously had access through the exploit can still theoretically retrieve that information. This issue has reportedly existed for "some time", but management refused to act on the information when informed.
>In response to public outcry (and a JP dramatuber picking up the story), VSPO and Brave (VSPO's parent company) issued public statements on the matter. In response, VSPO JP has suspended all auditions, until the issue can be resolved. Brave themselves state that this issue has potentially affected other audition forms, and is investigating the source of the leak. Brave claims that they were informed via Twitter DM on 6/18, but not made aware of the issue until 6/25. VSPO JP talent activities have also potentially been suspended unofficially, as none have streamed since the leak came to light, and VSPO Gekiro has been cancelled.
>VSPO EN, seemingly unpreturbed by goings-on in the rest of the company, release an open letter from the branch's manager, asking people to tune into the debuts.
>PixelLink announces the 5th group of vtubers that will join the VSMP, PixelLink's minecraft server.
>Rixxy Brightful of NEXAS confirms that AniLive coins do become real money, as she has officially recieved her first paycheck from NEXAS.

Indies

In addition to the typical merch drop with new outfits/designs, HYTE will be releasing a case with the new design, and Doki will be featured in GamerSupps' V-Card Trading Card lineup. Doki also claims her chest to be "medium"; dragoons still reportedly searching for evidence of claims.
