The Metropolitan Police Department said Wednesday that it had lost two floppy disks (FDs) that recorded the personal information of citizens. It was kept in the list of tenant applicants for public housing when the local government asked for an inquiry whether they were related to gangsters. "At this point, we have not been able to confirm any external leaks or abuses," the agency said.
On The 27th, the Public Security Agency announced that it had lost two floppy disks (FDs) that recorded citizens' personal information. A list of applicants for public housing is kept on a floppy disk, which is kept by the office entrusted by the local government to check whether the occupants are related to a violent organization. The Office stated that it was not yet possible to confirm whether it had been leaked or exploited in bad faith.
The FD created by Meguro-ku, Tokyo was lost. The Metropolitan Police Department and the ward share information on residents of municipal housing and check whether they are related to gangsters.
The missing floppy disk was made in meguro-ku, Tokyo. The Metropolitan Police Department and the district government share information on those who apply to stay in the district camp residences and are confirming whether they are related to violent organizations.
The FD recorded the names, dates of birth, and gender of 38 men in their 20s and 80s who the ward asked for inquiries in December 2019 and February this year. The Organized Crime Division 3, which is responsible for measures to eliminate gangsters, managed it in the vault, but when I received an inquiry from the ward on The 7th of this month and confirmed it, it was gone.
The floppy disk records the names, dates of birth, and genders of 38 men aged 20 to 80 who were queried in December 2019 and February this year. It is managed by the Organized Crime Countermeasure 3 Reservoir responsible for eliminating violent organizations, but after receiving an inquiry from the ward on the 7th of this month, it was found that it was missing when it was confirmed.
Hiroyoshi Miyamoto, manager of the Group vs. 3 Division, commented, "I sincerely apologize to the 38 people, and we will thoroughly provide guidance and education in the future and strive to prevent the recurrence of similar cases."
Mr. Miyamoto, the head of the class, expressed his heartfelt apologies to the 38 people and said that in the future, he would thoroughly implement the educational guidance and do his best to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.

Information leaks are hard, and you have to be careful, but you can take everything to the FD...
After all, it is active in FD in the public office. . . Even though the drive and media have already been discontinued.
Information leakage is very serious, we must pay attention to, but all the information is stored on the floppy disk, and it has been stolen...
Government agencies are still using floppy disks... Discs and recording media have been discontinued.

I'm not so 1. It only contains about 37mb, and even external devices are rare items nowadays. Information loss is a problem, but first of all, I was surprised at the floppy. I miss the era when I didn't know "Why!?" without knowing the write prevention function. You don't manage your data in the shoin, do you?
It can only store about 1.37mb, and now even external devices are rare.
While information loss is a problem, what surprised me the most was the floppy disk. Nostalgic for that era when I didn't know why there was no anti-editing feature. There will be no data management in the academy.

It doesn't matter whether it's FD or paper, no matter what the record is. The problem is the fact that it has been lost and the state of storage. It is evidence that personal information is under-viewed.
Never have it. Have a sense of ownership!
Whether it's FD or paper, it doesn't matter what you use to record. The problem lies in the fact of the loss and the circumstances of the custody. This is evidence of a slight disregard for personal information.
This is something that must not be done. Be aware of the parties!

I saw floppy disk after a long absence of words ... I buy it with taxes and I don't say that I can use the latest equipment for anything, but I wonder if I can't do business that suits the times a little more, not only the police but also the general government office.
I haven't seen the word floppy disk in a long time... And it's bought with our taxes, and I'm not saying that all departments have the latest machines, but can our business keep up with the times a little bit? Not just the public security department, but the entire government.

At this time, I think that the people who are using FD drive are quite maniacs.
I think that there are quite a few young people who know how to use FD.
To be clear, it is a nostalgic device.
However, a typical FD drive is 3.5 inches
I think that it is a larger inch FD when it comes to business use (used by government agencies).
In addition, I think that there are few devices that can be used ...
I'd like to check the article again, but it's not wrong with an optical disk, right? Really.
By the way, FD is one of Dr. Nakamatsu's inventions. It's a great invention.
The people who still use floppy disks are fairly loyal enthusiasts
I think very few young people know how to use FD.
Frankly, it's a nostalgic machine.
But the general FD drive is 3.5 inches, if it is used for business (used by government agencies) FD should be larger.
And I think there are very few devices that can be used... Confirm the article again, is there really nothing wrong with the disc? It's true
By the way, FD was one of dr. Nakamatsu's inventions. Great invention.
koucha
I knew that floppy disks remained used in active use due to the specifications of the equipment, but in this case I want to know the reason why I was using it.
Although I know that there are still some specifications of the device that use floppy disks, I would like to know why floppy disks are used in this case?

Pc-9801 set built over 1 million yen was also disposed of 20 years ago, but lost floppies older than faxes? I was expecting a low-memory device that seems to be a fossil with state-of-the-art equipment to crime prevention and investigation what I remembered at what time, but the feeling that I can not update what I remembered once is serious, I can not copy to other devices
Even the PC-9801, which was developed for 1 million yen, was eliminated 20 years ago, and floppy disks older than fax machines can be lost.
Although I was a little looking forward to using state-of-the-art machines to guard or search for low-memory devices, and I didn't even know what kind of old fossils it was, once it was saved, it couldn't be updated, and it was stuck. You can't copy and paste it on other devices yet.
**y***r*
Well, I think it can be stolen, whether it's a floppy disk or a cloud.
I would be happy if a storage destination that is absolutely safe was developed.
Well, I think floppy disks and clouds could possibly be stolen.
I would be so happy to be able to develop a place that can be kept with absolute peace of mind.

When is the report of the age?
You can also read the news of 1991 (Heisei 3) as it is.
I was a word processor at the time (do you know if I'm young? I used it in).
You can see some of the causes of the 30 years of japan's decline.
surprised lol
What kind of era is this report?
Let's put the content in the news of 1991 (Heisei 3) as it is.
I was using a word processor (do young people understand?)
One of the reasons for Japan's 30 years of recession has been found.
Shocked, laughed
FD in this day and age? I thought, but if you think about it carefully...
There are few PCs with built-in drives in the flop. Few people also have an external FLOP drive. I should have it, but I don't know where I did it (I used it more than 5 years ago).
So, if you lose it, it is unlikely that you will be seen as interested.
If this is a USB stick, the barrier is quite low.
However, if you are robbed of an FD in order to steal information, there is no way to do it except to set a password ...
But if you think about it, PCs with built-in FD optical drives are rare
Very few people have an external FD drive. I should have had it too, but I don't know where it was (it was useless 5 years ago), so if it is lost, if it is out of interest, the probability of seeing it is very low.

There are a lot of critical opinions about using floppy disks, but it's just right to pass this amount of data.
So to speak, it can be said that it uses the right person in the right place.
Of course, some people are discussing issues such as equipment maintenance, but I think it's in the same way.
Although many people are critical of the use of floppy disks, this can be used to receive this capacity of data.
Of course, there are also people talking about machine maintenance and other issues, and I feel the same way about this.

So, did you investigate after the loss? Even if you do, the conclusion is that the cause of the loss is unknown, so it will be Osimai.
Even if cash was lost in some station before, the cause was unknown.
The cause of accidents and incidents involving police officers and in the station is unknown, isn't it?
So was the loss investigated after that? Even if the investigation is over, the conclusion is that the reason for the loss is unknown, and then it is scrawled.
The previous loss of cash at a police station is also unexplained.
Accidents and incidents related to the police in the police station can be unexplained, why?

Does this bother to store it in the storage medium and in the FD and hand it over? You can encrypt it, set a password, attach it to an email, and send it. Whether it's online or physically interacting, the risk of leaks doesn't change much, and I think it's an email attachment from an efficient perspective. Well, it's an administration.
Does this need to be deliberately stored on storage media, and on FD? Isn't it okay to passwordize, set a password, add it to the email and send it? Whether it's an online or physical handover, the risk of compromise doesn't change dramatically, and from an efficiency point of view, email addition is the only option. Well, it's administrative.

In the administration, FD and MO were the mainstream recording mediums.
Both of them are hard and discontinued.

This is Japan in 2021, where less than one sheet of paper worth of information on the names, dates of birth, and gender of 38 people is sent by FD.

If it is good with data with a small amount of space, it is quite excellent media w
Until just a few years ago, I used vbs for collecting information such as PC IP and comp name.
If only a small amount of data is needed, floppy disks are excellent media.
A few years ago, VBS was still using vbs to collect PCs' IP and comp names.

floppy disk?
I don't know if I dropped it or misplaced it, but even if someone picks it up
It would be a very difficult technique to see the contents (laughs)
By the way, I used all 3.5 inches/ 5 inches / 12 inches at work lol
diskette?
Although I don't know if I fell or forgot where, even if someone picks it up, it is difficult to see what is inside. [Laughs]
By the way, I used to work with 3.5 inches, 5 inches, 12 inches, laughs.

I didn't know, but I miss floppy.
"The Metropolitan Police Department and the district government share information on those who apply to stay in the district camp to confirm whether they are related to violent organizations."
I don't know exactly, but floppy disks are really nostalgic
