Japan: Resona Bank 'Lost 980,000 Customer Records'

Via The Yomiuri Shimbun Online.

Resona Bank announced Monday it had lost records, including receipts, containing personal information of about 980,000 clients at 27 branches.

Among the branches affected was the one in the Diet building housing the House of Representatives.

The bank said it had not received any reports of illegal use of the information or withdrawals of cash as the records did not contain customers' passwords. However, the information lost did include names, account numbers and transaction details, a bank official said.

If correct, the loss of information on about 980,000 clients would exceed the 960,000 customers affected by information lost by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in October.
