Personal information of 1,342 primary school students who cooperated with a health survey conducted by the Environment Ministry has been exposed to the Internet through file-sharing software called Share, according to the ministry.
The annual survey covers about 180,000 3-year-old and 6-year-old children from 39 local governments across the nation.
The exposed information is personal data on 6-year-old children from the 2008 academic year and includes their names and addresses.
The children attend 21 primary schools in Akita, Gifu and Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, according to the ministry.
A Tokyo research company was commissioned by the ministry to collect and input the data.
