  "account": "One-third of Japanese firms and their service providers have been targeted by cyberattacks this year, according to a Reuters survey. The attacks have led companies to increase their spending on cybersecurity measures. While about 10% of respondents reported that cyberattacks disrupted their operations, 22% said the attacks caused no damage. Just over half of the respondents stated they had not been targeted, with the remainder unsure. Only 3% of respondents expect a sharp increase in cybersecurity spending, while 59% anticipate a moderate increase and 22% expect little change. The survey, conducted by Nikkei Research for Reuters from October 27 to November 6, contacted 508 companies, of which 214 responded anonymously.",
