A file containing names, residential addresses, and symptoms of all those patients became unprotected between November 30, 2020, ~ January 6, 2021, after a medical staff member mistakenly sent out an email that gave access to an unrelated man. Although the email receiver shortly responded to inform the error, the situation did not get resolved due to the failure to report the mistake. As of January 6, the prefecture deleted the online file. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/mainichi.jp\/articles\/20210106\/k00\/00m\/040\/254000c\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mainichi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asahi.com\/articles\/ASP166VN1P16TIPE016.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asahi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rkb.jp\/news\/000727.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/en\/tag\/corona\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#fukuokacorona<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-138258\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/covid-patient-leak.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/covid-patient-leak.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/covid-patient-leak.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/covid-patient-leak.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/covid-patient-leak.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disclaimer<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area news for those who cannot read Japanese.
