Employment adjustment subsidy Personal information leaked through online application To expert survey June 9 12:11
Regarding the online application for the “employment adjustment subsidy” that has been canceled due to a series of troubles, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has revealed that the personal information of the employee who applied for it has been leaked. Due to a mistake in the program, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will conduct an investigation by an outside expert in the future.
Regarding the "employment adjustment subsidy" to maintain employment, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare began accepting online applications from companies and others on the 20th of last month as part of the response to the new coronavirus.
However, because the applied personal information was in a state that other applicants could see, the operation was suspended, the system was repaired, and the service was resumed on the 5th of this month, but the personal information was leaked again. I knew there was a possibility, and I had to stop the operation again.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, when trying to return to the previous screen from a specific screen, the application documents of one company in Kansai were displayed, and it was confirmed that another 10 companies were browsing. . The application documents contained the names, dates of birth, salary, etc. of the four officers and employees.
It seems that this was a mistake in the program, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare apologized to the people concerned and explained the circumstances.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will take necessary measures after investigating the detailed causes of a series of troubles by outside experts.
On the other hand, for the 1855 companies whose online application procedures have been interrupted, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has made known to these companies that it is necessary to re-apply at the labor bureau or HelloWork window.
