The New York Times reported "Japanese lawmakers were aghast
on Wednesday when Yoshitaka Sakurada, 68, the minister who heads
the government's cybersecurity office, said during questioning
in Parliament that he had no need for the devices, and appeared
confused when asked basic technology questions." The November
15, 2018 Report entitled "Minister in Charge of Japan's
Cybersecurity Says He Has Never Used a Computer" included
these details:
Asked by a lawmaker if nuclear power plants allowed the use
of USB drives, a common technology widely considered to be a
security risk, Mr. Sakurada did not seem to understand what they
were.
The Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, gave Mr. Sakurada
oversight of cybersecurity and the Olympics and Paralympics last
month in a cabinet shake-up.
