IT Home reported on October 26 that Panasonic Operational Excellence (PEX) issued a statement on October 23 local time in Japan about an incident involving the improper upload of information in a human resources information system project it was conducting jointly with its subsidiary Panasonic Digital, and apologized to those affected.
According to the statement, an employee responsible for the human resources information system project violated established rules by uploading data on current employees, former employees and employees’ family members to an external generative AI service platform whose use was prohibited.
The incident affected 75,000 current employees, 178,000 former employees, 55,000 family members of current employees and 26,000 family members of former employees who use Panasonic Group’s unified human resources information system, or approximately 334,000 people in total. The data involved included current and former employees’ identification numbers, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses, as well as the names, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses of family members listed as emergency contacts.
After the incident, the employee responsible deleted the generative AI chat history and the relevant data on the computer used for work. The GenAI service provider said the data had not been included in its training database and that data retained to meet compliance requirements would also be deleted on October 25. There have been no reports so far of this data being leaked.
