According to former US and Japanese officials, the NSA discovered in the fall of 2020 that the PRC had persistent access to Japanese Defense Networks.

This prompted a bilateral engagement to enhance Japanese Network security.

Kind of scary to think about all the state hacking going on that hasn't yet been revealed.

Nothing to do with security. Everything to do with olds not wanting to learn anything new. I had a client, a doctor, do early retirement instead of move his paper files into and EMR system. Because he didn't want to learn it. Kind of like appointing a boomer with zero IT experience to the head of cybersecurity. Any country that is short sighted enough to pull that shit deserves to have their networks wrecked.

EMR systems aren't FOSS, so I'd be reluctant too.
