Japanese Businessman Loses Entire City's Personal Data After Passing Out Drunk On A Tuesday Night

Less than 50%

Who hasn't gone all out for the random Tuesday night bender and hit the sake a little too hard after a tough start to the work week? Plenty of us.

When narrowing down that field to the workers who have also passed out on the street and lost a flash drive containing the personal information of nearly 500,000 people, the herd thins out a little bit.

But according to Vice, that's exactly what happened to one Japanese businessman in his 40s this past week. He ventured out for drinks in Osaka prefecture’s industrial Amagasaki city before waking up, hours later, on the street.

His bag - containing his USB drive with the sensitive information he was carrying around - was missing. The drive was encrypted, the report says, and contained the personal data of Amagasaki’s 465,177 residents.
