Japan gov t agencies hit by data breach via unauthorized access
Japan s national cybersecurity center and two ministries said Wednesday that unauthorized access to an information-sharing tool developed by Fujitsu Ltd., which is contracted to oversee its computer systems, has led to a data breach.
The leaked information includes at least 76,000 email addresses of government officials and external parties, such as members of expert panels, as well as study materials on creating a digital government, according to the affected foreign and transport ministries.
The government s National Center of Incident Readiness and Strategy for Cybersecurity, or NISC, said that the product names and maintenance schedules of computers that make up its system had been leaked to external parties.
