Japan Holds Cyber Attack Drill, Prepares for 2020 Olympics
Japan faced a full-on cyber attack across government departments Tuesday in a drill aimed at bolstering national security, Reutersreports.
Similar to the ethical hacker testing for the London 2012 Olympics, 50 cyber defense specialists gathered at an emergency response center in Tokyo, with at least three times that many offsite, to defend against a simulated attack across 21 state ministries and agencies and 10 industry associations, the article says.
