Tokyo (Japan) - A USB flash drive containing valuable deployment maps of Japanese and US usb verschlüsselung defender kangurumilitary forces was stolen last year and the culprit has been caught. At first, the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force claimed the drive was merely lost, but investigators discovered a 33-year-old captain actually stole it along with 2000 yen in cash (about $20 USD) and a 10,000 yen airline coupon.
