Gov't urges KDDI to ensure privacy of communications
Technology ( 3 )
TOKYO —
The Internal Affairs and Communications Ministry has instructed KDDI Corp to improve its safety control to ensure privacy of communications and system reliability. The major Japanese mobile phone carrier has experienced four cases of system failures since July. The incidents include Internet connection failures and delivering emails to wrong addresses.
The ministry concluded that the failures occurred because KDDI launched services without sufficient software verification. It gave the administrative order because the company neglected its duty to provide stable, secure services to its users.
The ministry has also asked KDDI to submit a report by Sept 29 on preventive measures against systems failures.

guess that KDDI didn't report the time that they gave personal e-mail history to a mafia member/ex-policeman 5 years ago... no wait I had to report it myself and then the police did jack all and AU (KDDI) had the balls to deny it. I will never ever use AU or KDDI again... they are untrustworthy and lie.
ps; JT a while ago a report on this site said that the government (or some other agency thats just as stupid) had stated that most spam mail came from overseas... could you please explain how that 99% of the spam I get is written in japanese and sent from japanese servers?.
