When the protection of personal information is neglected and information is leaked through mismanagement, companies are significantly impacted in various ways, including loss of public confidence, suspension of business operations, and the requirement to pay damage compensation. In this study, through internet news we investigate incidents of personal information leakage, introduce example cases, analyze the causes, and discuss countermeasures. With the spread of the internet and the accumulated storage of large amounts of personal information in databases, incidents of information leakage have become more common, due to unauthorized access obtained, for example, via the internet by exploiting the vulnerability of servers. Moreover, data leakage through mismanagement and deliberate removal of data from the premises also occurs. These issues have become a major threat to firms. We also discuss leakage of personal information resulting from the spread of social media and the increase in use of free software.
