As PHP, the programming language used to run websites, has been exposed to serious security flaws, financial institutions, enterprises, local governments, and government agencies in Japan have also been affected. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara said at a press conference on the morning of the 22nd: “Up to now, no reports of related damage have been received.” At the same time, he suggested that enterprises and other agencies install fixes, and said that the government will closely monitor the development of the situation and take corresponding measures. According to Kihara Minoru, government departments such as the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare and the Ministry of Finance have temporarily stopped disclosing some website content for preventive purposes. Affected by this incident, Japanese cybersecurity-related stocks have risen, and the foreign exchange market and yen bond market have yet to show significant fluctuations.
