Lost personal information of 10,000 sign-language interpreter applicants April 2nd 14:38
It turned out that a staff member of a social welfare corporation conducting a sign language interpretation test had lost a USB memory containing about 10,000 personal information that had been applied for the test.
Lost personal information was found at the Kyoto National Social Welfare Corporation National Sign Language Training Center.
According to the center, last month, a male employee in his 60s lost a USB memory containing personal information such as names, addresses, and telephone numbers for about 10,000 people who applied for the National Sign Language Examination last year.
To work at home on Saturday, I transferred my personal information from my personal computer to my personal USB memory and took it out. After returning home, I noticed that I lost my job.
The center had sent an apology letter to those who had applied for the exam, because they had not obtained the required workplace director's permission.
Shinichi Koide, Managing Director of the National Sign Language Training Center, said, "I am very sorry for the situation that should not occur. I will reflect on that there is an organizational defect and thoroughly prevent recurrence."
