HP leaks personal data on Web site

Hewlett-Packard Co.'s Japanese unit said it may have leaked the personal
data of 139,583 people in Japan.

The information included names, addresses and telephone numbers, the
unit of the Palo Alto, Calif.-based computer and peripheral equipment
maker said on its Japanese-language Web site Friday.

The information, from questionnaires and seminar application forms, was
mistakenly posted on a Web page and publicly accessible from Feb. 13 to 20.

The company said the information was accessed, but there have been no
reports it was misused.
