JAPAN'S bureaucrats used the wrong privacy settings for Google Groups online discussions, allowing anyone to see internal memos including on negotiating positions for an international treaty, the government said Wednesday.
Environment ministry mandarins were among those who used the default settings on Google Groups, which allow public access to discussion threads, instead of limiting them to members only.
The mass-selling Yomiuri Shimbun said it found more than 6,000 cases in which information from public or private organizations, including hospital records, was publicly available.
The newspaper admitted its journalists also had used the wrong settings.
