Japan’s government said it will convene a ministerial meeting on Monday to address cyber threats as a growing number of data breaches expose the nation’s online vulnerabilities.

“Due to a number of cyberattacks targeting the companies and other organizations of Japan, we are seeing large-scale data leaks and secondary damage using the information from those leaks,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a regular news briefing held Monday morning. “Countering this is becoming an urgent task,” he said.

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi will lead the meeting from 6pm local time to coordinate the government’s response to the recent spate of cyberattacks, Kihara said.

A recent string of data breaches has hit Japan Inc. amid concerns around the world about the use of artificial intelligence to take advantage of cybersecurity vulnerabilities. In the most recent incident for Japan, IT services provider GMO Internet Group said its foreign-exchange trading service was subject to unauthorized access, with some customers reporting transactions in their accounts that they did not recognize. On Saturday, GMO asked the government to help neutralize the source of malicious cyberactivity.

Kihara declined to comment on the specifics of the GMO case but said the government would support organizations that come under attack.

The GMO incident comes less than a month after a new set of cybersecurity laws came into effect. The new framework allows for Japan to deploy “active cyber defense,” meaning that it can take a more proactive stance by identifying and eliminating emerging cybersecurity threats.

The law also seeks to foster better communication and integrated countermeasures by the private and public sectors.
