A research project in Japan has shown large security gaps in corporate
computer security programs, putting personnel information at risk.

The research by NRI Secure Technologies Ltd., a subsidiary of Nomura
Research Institute Ltd., showed that half of 167 Web Sites examined
could be entered by hackers and personnel information lifted using
common hacking methods, the Asahi Shimbun reported Thursday.

The information gathered by the NRI examiner, an expert in computer
security, included names, addresses, contact information, credit card
numbers and other personal data of customers and users.
