Data-theft fallout felt across Asia

Recriminations flew on Monday over the biggest data breach in US history as the theft of private information on more than 40 million credit card holders spread to Japan and Hong Kong.
In Japan on Monday, financial company UFJ Card Co. said some of its credit card holders had fallen victim to illegal transactions ensuing from the data theft.

Other Japanese credit card firms linked to MasterCard, including issuers of Nippon Shinpan, DC Card, OMC Card, UC Card and NICOS Card, also reported that their customer information might have been leaked because of the breach.
