A hacker collective has issued a statement regarding their involvement in the recent disturbance at Nichirei, one of Japan's leading food product companies. The exact content of the statement has not been released, but it confirms the cyberattack that took place at Nichirei. Although there have been no indications of data breaches or large losses, the company is now carrying out extensive security checks and strengthening their cybersecurity measures.

In Japan, increasing incidents of cyberattacks on businesses have raised alarms, resulting in a more focused approach towards cybersecurity both from government and businesses themselves. Japanese society places great value on privacy and security, thus such incidents are taken very seriously. Moreover, since many large companies like Nichirei play a crucial role in the Japan's day-to-day life, ensuring their security is of paramount importance.

In comparison, both the EU and the US have more robust cybersecurity infrastructure, mainly because they have experienced numerous large-scale cyberattacks over the years. However, like in Japan, cyberattacks on major companies usually result in an immediate increase in cybersecurity measures.
