The government is calling for attention to security measures during and after major holidays, saying that the risk of cyber attacks is increasing due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the spread of computer viruses called "emotes". ..
The Cabinet Cyber Security Center and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry are calling attention to the increased risk of cyber attacks in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
When infected, the contact information of the terminal and the contents of the e-mail are stolen, and the computer virus "Emotet" that spreads fake e-mails has been infected since last month just by opening the attached file.
The Cabinet Cyber Security Center says that virus infections are especially likely to occur after consecutive holidays, and requires the person in charge of information systems to check the latest vulnerability information and take measures such as version upgrades. In addition, we encourage employees and staff not to inadvertently access the attached files and links when checking accumulated emails.
Tetsuji Yoshikawa, Deputy Director of the Cabinet Cyber Security Center, said, "Once a damage occurs, it may have a significant impact on the business. Especially after the holidays, I would like to ask you to take conscious measures."
