DoCoMo Staffer Held over Leak
The Metropolitan Police Department has arrested a 41-year-old temporary employee who formerly worked for NTT DoCoMo Inc. over a leak of clients’ personal data.

The MPD quoted Takemura as saying: “I did it to show that there was a hole in NTT DoCoMo’s security system. I was feeling bitter toward the company at the time because I’d been given a warning about my work.” Continue
