How do you say, “Maybe we shouldn’t have stored your credit card data” in Japanese?

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Dissent

The Japan Foundation of Los Angeles recently notified the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office of a security incident involving an unnamed vendor who hosts their web site at jfalc.org.

According the October 21 letter filed by their attorneys, on September 18, JFLA discovered that the names, dates of birth and credit card information for those registering for their Japanese Language Proficiency Testing service in 2009 and 2010 had potentially been accessed. As of October 21, the company was still investigating the breach.

The total number of individuals affected was not reported, but 7 New Hampshire residents were among those notified. The foundation says that it only collects credit card information in conjunction with its annual language proficiency testing.

A note on the foundation’s web site indicates that it is still unavailable as of today’s date.
