Kengo Mikami, 36, is suspected of copying the confidential information on or around May 30, 2012, while working as a systems engineer for the company now called MRT Inc., investigative sources said. The data, copied from an online storage service, included names, addresses, dates of birth, academic records and details of workplaces. (English)
