At least 10 suspicious sites claiming to be "Japanese news media'' were discovered. The sites use the country's language and real place names to pretend to be media.

Japan was the first to establish a site, with 15 sites, the second most after South Korea. The latest topics are delivered every day, and the articles and photos are all based on actual events.. Analyzing data from 100,000 published articles, we found that almost all of the articles published on 11 sites were used by other media outlets.
