Japan cybersecurity bill delayed due to post-election uncertainty

 an approach to monitor and detect signs of cyberattacks against the government and critical infrastructure, and, if necessary, disrupt enemy servers with computer viruses to neutralize them.

I thought that Japanese Gov infrastructures were based on fax machines and stamps....

Japanese made computer Pokemon viruses ??!! interesting?!

Just another BS Big talk from incompetent people using cyberattack as excuses to hide internal and domestic problems.

So they don't want to go down the zero privacy policy of the US...good work Japan.

So an essential security measure is shelved, because politics.

"The meeting will be rescheduled when the vice-minister's deputy's subordinate's second-in-command confirms that the fax machine is still working. As he can only do so by fax, the possibility of the meeting being permanently suspended cannot be discounted".

This is Japan, so no hanko no approval.
