Re: Nissan Investigation Concerning Customer Information

[Al Mac <macwheel99 () sigecom net>]

I checked a few other stories for additional info.

Forbes says about 5.38 min customers affected.  Is "min" a misprint?
http://www.forbes.com/markets/feeds/afx/2006/12/21/afx3276888.html

According to the original source shared, the number of customers notified 
was 5,379,909.

Perhaps the original source "The Weekly Asahi" has key data not given in 
later stories.

There's more followup info here if you interested.
