ALICO Japan warned on Thursday that credit card data for some of its
insurance policyholders are suspected of having been leaked and abused
this month.

There are about 1,000 cases in which credit card data might have been
abused, the Japanese branch of American Life Insurance Co. said,
urging customers to carefully check their bills from credit card
companies.

Since July 14, ALICO Japan has received multiple inquiries from credit
card companies about alleged abuses of credit cards for customers who
used them for insurance premium payments.

An emergency in-house survey has found that personal information of
customers who used credit cards for premium payments might have been
leaked, it said.
