Cyber security experts are calling for tighter security measures, including segregating networks and isolating state computers, following an announcement from Japan's largest travel agency, JTB, that passport details and other records of 7.93m customers may have been taken by hackers when a subsidiary's server was breached in Wednesday. The experts warn that government systems are particularly at risk from state-sponsored attacks from China and North Korea. Japan's IT Promotion Agency has begun to address the issue; recently providing guidelines on password security and regulations for companies to adhere to.
