“An employee of the Secretariat of Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority lost a workplace smartphone with highly classified personal information while on a private trip to China last year.
The Secretariat says the employee reported the loss on November 6.
The person was visiting Shanghai until November 3, and appears to have lost the phone during a security screening before flying back to Japan.
The smartphone contains the names and contacts of Secretariat employees involved with nuclear security, such as anti-terrorist measures at nuclear facilities.
There is currently no evidence to suggest any of the phone’s contents have been leaked, but the Secretariat reported the matter to the government’s Personal Information Protection Commission.
The Secretariat plans to take steps to prevent a recurrence, such as banning employees from carrying workplace smartphones when traveling abroad.”

„lost“ is the key word here, somehow between all the drinks and raunchy Ness it got lost

Why did he take a business phone on a private trip though? At most he should have a personal phone with some people as emergency contacts. Not all of his work contacts + god knows what other confidential information.
Let me guess, dude is likely a dinosaur of 80 years plus and can’t even be bothered to secure his device?

Why were they allowed to take a device with confidential data to China? They should be taking burners.

How does someone even lose a phone during a security screening at the airport? It goes in the bin through the scanner and out the other side. Only real explanation is that the airport security intentionally confiscated the phone for reasons unknown.

Japan doesn’t have nuclear weapons. China already has nukes, and also nuclear power. Im not really sure what would be interesting for China since they already have their own technology. Im not even sure if Japan’s nuclear reactors would be an improvement on china’s design
