According to former US and Japanese officials, the NSA discovered in the fall of 2020 that the PRC had persistent access to Japanese Defense Networks.
This prompted a bilateral engagement to enhance Japanese Network security.
Kind of scary to think about all the state hacking going on that hasn’t yet been revealed.

I think this article is enlightening on Japan’s cybersecurity. Things may have changed but people like this being in charge put them way behind.
had to check when the article was written at this one lol
We still use FAX. No, seriously.
While it isn’t ubiquitous here in Australia by any means, fax still occupies some weird areas of law that make it common. When my doctor sends a referral it is almost always via fax, because email isn’t legal. Apparently, owning a phone number is more proof than owning an email address?
What’s hilarious is that most medical providers use fax-over-VoIP (yes, that’s apparently the term) anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
fax over VoIP has to be the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard
Same in the US, doctors offices want everything done by fax. Because security.
Nothing to do with security. Everything to do with olds not wanting to learn anything new. I had a client, a doctor, do early retirement instead of move his paper files into and EMR system. Because he didn’t want to learn it. Kind of like appointing a boomer with zero IT experience to the head of cybersecurity. Any country that is short sighted enough to pull that shit deserves to have their networks wrecked.
EMR systems aren’t FOSS, so I’d be reluctant too.
Whatever security benefits there may be in fax are completely defeated if you send it over VoIP.
I was being sarcastic about the security thing.
