Fujitsu Japan is in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons, after fumbling its attempt to fix the nation's troubled ID card scheme...
One use of the cards is to arrange for administrative documents to be printed at convenience stores or government offices. But that scheme has produced ongoing data leaks, as residents order documents and arrive to find papers pertaining to other people – complete with personal information.
That and other problems with My Number are ongoing, leading prime minister Fumio Kishida to admit last week that the situation is eroding public confidence in government digital services – a priority for his government as the nation is arguably a laggard in the field. The PM therefore an emergency review of My Number and declared it a priority comparable to Japan's pandemic response .that on June 28 a local government authority issued a resident card – and the person who came to pick it up found it included details for another person.
That's embarrassing to Fujitsu because, on June 17, the services giant announced it had re-inspected the MCIJET application behind the remote printing facility and claimed it was complete. Now the firm has admitted to"a failure in which data inconsistency occurred." It's asked all local government customers to stop using MICJET, so it can once again probe the cause of the problem and consider whether other aspects of its service need to be reviewed.
