We are releasing an update for our GeoIP2 Country, City, and Enterprise databases, and for our GeoIP2 Country, City Plus, and Insights web services to fix a bug that geolocated about 0.1% of IP addresses located in Japan to the wrong country and the wrong coordinates.
When the updated databases are released today, you will be able to download them via your account portal, or using your GeoIP Update program. If you use any of the GeoIP2 web services, you will have access to the updated data with no further action required.
