Attackers may try to launch more serious cyber attacks in the wake of these computer virus infections.
The center says that the risk is increasing due to the spread of telework and the increase in access from homes with relatively weak security.
For companies, whether the software of the company's personal computer is kept up to date before the holidays, whether it is in a state where unauthorized access is possible from the outside, and in cloud services, there are many factors. We are asking you to confirm whether you are authenticating.
Tetsuji Yoshikawa, Counselor of the Cabinet Cyber Security Center, said, "Attackers may be aiming for consecutive holidays, which tend to be delayed in discovery, so I would like you to have a system in place to take immediate action."
