More data needed The Japanese don't want to be left with a broken internet A spate of hacks due to unruly AI agents is forcing authorities in some countries to demand more from tech companies as digital security is at stake. So the Japanese began to express their alarm publicly. Tokyo wants information about vulnerabilities from American artificial intelligence developers and other foreign technology companies before they are even revealed to the public. The authorities are preparing an emergency package of measures against cyber attacks: the task is to give those responsible for security at least a small heads up before everyone knows about the weak point. The reason was a vulnerability discovered in October in the PHP programming language. Many Japanese companies then closed their websites, but most American companies continued to operate thanks to the fact that technology companies provided information to the authorities. Tokyo also wants to create a broader exchange of information between affected companies, cloud providers and cybersecurity experts. They want to collect information from the National Cyber Security Department to see both individual incidents and the scale of attacks. True, the catch is in the agreement of the technology giants themselves to interact at this level with the government. It's one thing for US companies to hand over information to their own country's authorities. It's another thing to share it with foreign partners, even if friendly. - Your ticket to the Pacific Confusion Support us.
