[Japanese Government Allocates 10 Billion Yen to Strengthen Cybersecurity] According to Yonhap News Agency, the Japanese government decided at a cabinet meeting on November 6th to allocate 10 billion yen (approximately 85 billion won) from its fiscal year's reserve funds to strengthen cybersecurity. Of this, 4.1 billion yen will be used to enhance the "Mobile Cyber Defense" system, enabling police to access attack servers and eliminate risk factors; 3.8 billion yen will be used to strengthen the security of the Digital Agency system; and 2 billion yen will be used to utilize artificial intelligence to check for vulnerabilities in government and other systems. Japan's Minister of Digital Affairs, Takashi Matsumoto, stated that there have been cases where AI has discovered previously undetected vulnerabilities in PHP and other systems, emphasizing the crucial importance of using high-performance AI to inspect systems and respond promptly before vulnerabilities are exploited. Japan has experienced a series of hacking incidents this year. The Personal Information Protection Committee stated that since April, approximately 260 million duplicate personal information records have been leaked. In July, the government intranet "Government Solutions Service" was illegally accessed, resulting in the leakage of personal information of over 246,000 civil servants. In September, 6.6 million personal information records of users of Times Car, Japan's largest car-sharing company, were leaked by hackers, and SoftBank subsidiary IDC Frontier's corporate cloud service system was attacked by ransomware. Last month, IT giant GMO Internet Group stated that it was being demanded a $1 million ransom by hackers.
