Japan has been hit by a series of hacking attacks recently, with dozens of Japanese companies reporting that their systems have been subject to unauthorized access in recent weeks and that there may be a risk of customer data being leaked. In this regard, Japanese media stated that Japan will announce the establishment of a "Cyber ​​Rescue Team" on the 6th to respond to recent sudden hacker attacks.

According to the "AFP" report, the Japanese media "Yomiuri Shimbun" and "Japan Jiji News Agency" both said that Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae's office confirmed that the cabinet will hold a ministerial meeting related to cybersecurity on the 6th. The policy package will include the formation of a "cyber rescue team" composed of government and private sector experts.

Japanese media pointed out that the Japanese government will set up a dedicated office before the end of this fiscal year to coordinate the deployment and support of rescue teams when companies or related units face urgent support needs.

"Japan Jiji News Agency" added that Japan will also deploy a "top talent team" composed of experts in November to further improve its overall information security protection capabilities by simulating network attacks.

In addition, Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara told reporters on the 5th that these Internet-related security measures are Japan's first step towards becoming a society that meets the world's top Internet security resilience standards, but he did not specifically mention the "cyber rescue team." Kihara Minoru said that this network security plan will prevent damage as much as possible and respond immediately when damage occurs.
