http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/world/20071115TDY02303.htm Eleven laptop computers were stolen from the Japanese Embassy in central Brussels earlier this month, leading to fears that personal information on about 12,700 Japanese living in Belgium may have been exposed, the embassy said Wednesday. The robbery is believed to have taken place early Nov. 3. Security guards alerted by an alarm found the lock broken on the seventh-floor entrance to the embassy in an office building. Some of the stolen computers held electronic data on matters such as the expats' residence certification, overseas voting registration and passport information, according to the embassy. The residence certification contains details such as a person's name, birthdate, permanent address in Japan, occupation, family information and passport number. _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
