"Japan's nuclear regulator has reported the loss of a work-issued smartphone containing highly sensitive contact information after an employee misplaced the device while traveling in China late last year. The Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said an employee lost the smartphone during a personal trip to China in November, according to reports by the Asahi Shimbun."
"The device, which has not been recovered, contained the names and contact details of staff in charge of nuclear security - information that is not publicly disclosed due to its high level of confidentiality. The agency has notified the Personal Information Protection Commission, saying it cannot rule out the possibility of an information leak, although no misuse has been confirmed."
