Well, if you will appoint oyajis who don’t know what a USB is to positions like cybersecurity minister, then this is what you get.
“the country was not comfortable with another nation’s military accessing their systems. ”
Did they mean “yet another”?
Doesn’t surprise me at all.
I signed up for a Japanese FinTech event and since then I am flooded with Chinese spam.
“Japan elected to use domestic commercial security firms to find vulnerabilities.” No surprise there.
Japan did what anyone else would do. Watch the hackers to see where they go.
Not sure if it matters but my friend who works for Apple Japan told me that Apple Japan doesn’t keep their servers or data in China.
China such friendly neighbor.
Literally no part of this surprises me
From the WaPo article:
>Beijing, they told the Japanese officials, had breached Tokyo’s defense networks, making it one of the most damaging hacks in that country’s modern history.
>The Japanese were taken aback but indicated they would look into it. Nakasone and Pottinger flew back “thinking they had really made a point,” said one former senior defense official briefed on the matter.
They didn’t even find the breach themselves. They needed to be told about it by the US and were “taken aback” by the news.
Followed by nothing at all being done for another year. Surprising nobody.
Japan “looking into it” is a dozen old guys who’ve never used a computer before having two dozen meetings about what should be done, sending faxes to hanko, and all agreeing that this is very serious.

Well… that sounds just great.
Not shocking that it took them months to notice.
