  "account": "Japan announced an emergency cybersecurity package on Friday in response to numerous massive data breaches affecting major companies and government agencies. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi stressed the importance of a swift response to potential attacks in the age of AI-generated threats. The 10 billion yen ($63 million) package aims to create a resilient society where both government and private sectors share information, provide aid to those affected, and recover from damage. Measures include using AI for countering hackers, establishing a \"top gun\" team of cybersecurity experts, and setting up a \"cyber rescue team\" to assist companies hit by cyberattacks.",
