Japan's Dai Nippon Printing Co. (7912.T: Quote, Profile, Research) said on 
Monday a former contract worker stole nearly 9 million pieces of private 
data on customers from 43 clients including Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T: 
Quote, Profile, Research).

Dai Nippon, one of Japan's largest commerical printing companies, said the 
confidential information included names, addresses and credit card numbers 
intended for use in direct mailing and other printing services.

  But further investigation since then led to the discovery of new leaks 
and the stolen data total increased to 8,637,405 pieces of data.

Dai Nippon said there were no reports of the newly discovered pieces of 
stolen data being passed on to a third party.

The stolen data includes about 1.5 million articles on customers of 
American Home Assurance Co., 1.2 million on UFJ Nicos Co. (8583.T: Quote,

Research). and 270,000 on customers of auto giant Toyota Motor.
