Japan is investigating a series of cyberattacks on government websites, for which a pro-Russian hacker group has reportedly claimed responsibility, according to local reports.
Japan’s e-Gov website—which provides administrative information—and several other ministry websites were temporarily inaccessible from about midday on Sept. 6 before being restored later that day, the nation’s digital agency said on Sept. 7. The agency stated that the attacks didn’t compromise any personal information, local media Asahi Shimbun reported.
