🇯🇵💰Ransomware Cases in Japan 2024

Ransomware damage in Japan remains a serious concern, and in 2024 it continues to have a significant impact on companies and organizations. In this course, we will closely examine the major ransomware attacks that occurred in Japan in 2024—looking at how the attacks unfolded, the scale of the damage, and how the victims responded. Through these case studies, our goal is to grasp the realities of ransomware attacks and learn more effective countermeasures and defense methods.

Attack methods have become increasingly sophisticated each year, with ransomware spreading through various channels such as targeted phishing emails and exploits of software vulnerabilities. A wide range of industries—including financial institutions, manufacturing, and hospitals—have been hit, suffering impacts from large-scale operational shutdowns to leaks of confidential information. In this course, we will analyze the attack patterns and severity of damage in each case, and highlight the key points of the recovery process and risk management.

We will also present concrete measures organizations should adopt, including monitoring systems for early detection, backup strategies, employee training, and the development of incident response manuals. By comparing successful and unsuccessful responses, we aim to identify strategies that prove effective in real-world situations.
