After confessing that a contractor misplaced a USB drive with the personal information of 4,60,000 residents after a night out, a Japanese city has been left with more than just a headache, CBS News reported.
In the western city of Amagasaki, Japan, a private contractor whose identity has not been released carried memory sticks in a bag when he went out for drinks after work on Thursday.
But on Tuesday night, while he was working with a local pandemic relief initiative, he realised he has lost his bag.
According to CBS News, an Amagasaki official told reporters: "We deeply regret that we have profoundly harmed the public's trust in the administration of the city."
