During the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, Japan's important infrastructure may become a target of cyber attacks, and if financial institutions are attacked, they will not be able to conduct financial transactions, including withdrawals from ATMs. This could have a serious impact on economic activity.

This corresponds to the damage that the payment system stops due to the “DDoS attack”.
