In June this year, the popular Japanese video-sharing platform Niconico was attacked. Due to the cyber attack, it had to suspend its services. At the same time, in 2022, a cyber attack disrupted the operations of a Toyota supplier. Due to this, the production of domestic plants was closed for the whole day.
