Japan reports record ransomware and scam activity

14 September 2026 · Source: japantoday.com

Japan’s police said ransomware cases reached a record level in the first half of the year, with many incidents affecting small and medium sized companies. The same report also showed heavy suspicious access activity, large numbers of phishing emails, and confirmed cases of business email scams and unauthorized online banking transfers. For businesses, this points to a wider threat environment where attackers use email, impersonation, and account compromise to steal money or disrupt operations. A service like Sender Registry helps companies spot risky senders, identify impersonation attempts, and catch suspicious messages before they reach staff who handle payments or sensitive data.
