    Know Your Breach: Casio

    The Target: Japanese electronics manufacturer Casio.

    The Take: For the nearly 6,500 employees impacted, basic information collected by human resources was accessed, including names, employee numbers, email addresses and departments. Some employees had other information like gender, date of birth and home address leaked while a small number of those affected had taxpayer ID numbers exposed.
