Unauthorized Computer Access Reporting Program

The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry announced "Unauthorized Computer Access Prevention Guidelines" to prevent the spread of unauthorized computer access in Japan. IPA was designated to receive the "Unauthorized Computer Access Report" directly from damaged users to investigate unauthorized computer access problem and to provide monthly statistics. This reporting system started in August 1996. Anyone who has encountered unauthorized computer access is supposed to send an unauthorized computer access report with necessary information to IPA to prevent further spread and damage of unauthorized computer access. IPA deals with each reporter (user) on an individual basis as a consultant, and also works as a public research institute for unauthorized computer access measures by analyzing problems showed on the damage report. Taking reporters' privacy into full consideration, IPA periodically publishes the result of their research and analysis on unauthorized computer access.

Unauthorized Computer Access Prevention Guidelines
- Enactment on August 8, 1996 (release No.362)
- Amendment on September 24, 1997 (release No. 534)
- Amendment on December 28, 2000 (release No. 950)
- Amendment on January 5, 2004 (release No. 3)
