Japan Plans Ministerial Meeting on Rising Cyberattacks

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi plans to hold a ministerial meeting on Monday evening to discuss how to counter a growing wave of cyberattacks.

The planned talks come as Japanese companies face breaches and data leaks, putting the security of corporate information under scrutiny.

Ministers are expected to examine ways to respond to the mounting cyberthreats, amid concern over weaknesses in digital security.

Those vulnerabilities could be exploited to carry out more sophisticated attacks, adding urgency to efforts to strengthen Japan’s cyber defenses.
