Japanese electronics giant Casio said miscreants broke into its ClassPad server and stole a database with personal information belonging to customers in 149 countries.

As of October 18, the crooks accessed 91,921 items belonging to Japanese customers, including individuals and 1,108 educational institution customers, as well as 35,049 items belonging to customers from 148 other countries.

If Casio finds additional customers were compromised, it promises to update this count.

The data included customers' names, email addresses, country of residence, purchasing info including order details, payment method and license code, and service usage info including log data and nicknames.

All customers whose personal information may have been accessed will be contacted, it promised, and Casio will also respond to inquiries via this contact form.

Casio's breach follows several other high-profile data heists disclosed this week, including a second batch of stolen data from 23andMe being leaked on a cybercrime data.
