Cybercrime, especially in the tech sector, is a major concern in Japan. The country places a high value on its technological infrastructure, and incidents like these are taken very seriously. The public tends to applaud stringent measures taken against those who disrupt the social order and harm the country's digital economy.

In the US and EU, handling of similar issues often involves a combination of local law enforcement and agencies specializing in cybercrime. The punishment for such crimes can be severe, with various tech companies and software groups working to protect their systems from such threats.
