A Reuters survey conducted from October 27 to November 6 revealed that one-third of Japanese firms have been targeted by cyberattacks either on their own systems or those of external service providers this year.

About 10% of respondents reported that cyberattacks disrupted their operations, while 22% said the attacks caused no damage.
Just over half of the companies had not been targeted, with the rest unsure. On cybersecurity spending, 3% anticipate a sharp increase, 59% expect a moderate increase, and 22% expect little change. The survey contacted 508 companies, with 214 responding anonymously.
