情報流出、ＮＴＴ西に行政指導　松本総務相「再発防止徹底を」

　総務省は９日、ＮＴＴ西日本子会社の元派遣社員が大量の顧客情報を不正に持ち出した問題で、ＮＴＴ西に行政指導を行った。顧客データの取り扱いの委託先に対して監督を適切に行っていなかったと指摘。契約の見直しなど実効的な対策を講じるべきだとしている。
　行政指導に当たって、同省が確認した流出データは、氏名、住所、電話番号などの個人情報約１２０万件。松本剛明総務相は、同日の閣議後記者会見で「ＮＴＴグループ全体のガバナンスの問題として、国民の信頼を裏切ることのないよう再発防止の徹底を求める」と語った。（2024/02/09-12:26）

Japan's communications ministry on Friday issued administrative guidance to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone West Corp. over a leak of customer information by a former temporary worker dispatched to an NTT West unit.
   The ministry said that the Japanese telecommunications company had failed to appropriately oversee how customer data were handled at its outsourcing contractors.
   NTT West should take effective measures such as revising its contracts with such firms, the ministry said.
   The ministry confirmed that around 1.2 million sets of personal information, including names, addresses and phone numbers, were leaked.
   "We ask that (the information leak) is seen as an issue of the governance system of the NTT group as a whole, and that (the NTT side) takes preventative measures to ensure that it will not betray people's trust," communications minister Takeaki Matsumoto told a press conference on Friday.
