Military analysts recommend to digital a "legendary hacker"

In 2021, the Digital Agency was established as a signboard policy of the Kan administration at the time, but the awareness of Japan's network security and the level of experts seem to be not high.It is Kazuhisa Ogawa, a military analyst, proposes a drastic attempt to overcome such a situation.Ogawa's own e -mail magazine "Suspect NEWS!This time, we explain the concepts and importance of the "social engineering" that is being turned behind in Japan, and as a countermeasure, we have advised the Digital Agency to employ a "legendary American hacker".

Looking at the chronology of past events, he stated that Kevin Mitonic, a legendary hacker in the United States, was arrested on February 15, 1995.

Mitonic invaded a supercomputer center at the University of California, San Diego, and falsified data, and was cornered by the center researcher, Tsutomu Shimomura.The situation also appears in the movie "Hacker" (Japanese title).By the way, Shimomura is the son of Dr. Shu Shimomura, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemical in 2008.

Actually, in 2004, when I was a network security consultant such as electric power companies and telephone companies, I applied for a hearing for mitonic, but it was time for Mitonic to move through European countries.I never gave up because it didn't fit.

So why is it mitonic now?

Hackers (crackers) agree that mitonic is excellent in social engineering.Unlike the technical invasion of the system, it steals the administrator password using a deceived technique like a special fraud and enters from there.

In Japan, the strengthening of cyber security has been shouted loudly, and its efforts are being made in the government ruling party.The Digital Agency was also set up, and Karen Makishima became the minister in charge.

However, in 2004, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications investigated the disparity with the United States and submitted the report, "The Current Status of Network Security in the United States," the level of Japanese security companies and experts is international level.It is hard to say that you have cleared, and above all, the illusion that everything is completed in cyber space, tells you the standing back from other advanced IT countries.

If you look at the computer network or attack, you will not be able to enter the cyber space, and if you can not achieve your purpose, you will search for a security hole in the physical aspect, and straddle both the cyber side and the physical aspects.It is a natural flow to steal an administrator password that holds the key to invading and attacking.

That is why the mitonic business, which runs a security company, is also a business.

In Japan, measures for such social engineering are behind.In addition, it is technically low level.The fact that the current situation is not aware of the current situation is a picture of the digital and the digital countryside concept.I hope that you will be able to work on mitonic and be reborn as a country where you can realize safety and prosperity.(Kazuhisa Ogawa)
