Tokyo Tightens Cyber Defense After Protest

Aiko Hayashi writes in an AP newswire article on Yahoo! News that:

Japan has bolstered the defense of its computer systems in the face of a surge in cyber attacks believed linked to anti-Japanese sentiment in Asia, increasing staff and creating a new agency to coordinate its efforts.

Government officials are reluctant to publicly pin the attacks on Chinese and South Korean hackers because of the difficulty of identifying their source, but a surge in attacks coincided with violent anti-Japanese protests last month in China.
