Japan, U.S. reach cyberterrorism accord
TOKYO -- Japan and the United States have reached an agreement to fight cyberterrorism, Japanese officials said Tuesday.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Aso and U.S. Ambassador to Japan Thomas Schieffer are expected to sign an official note on a cooperation framework for sharing information on computer viruses and security measures and equipment, Jiji press reported Tuesday.
The Japanese Defense Agency and the U.S. Defense Department will then exchange a memorandum on specific cooperation measures, which are to be carried out by the Defense Agency's Joint Staff Office and the Defense Department's Pacific Command in Hawaii.
The deal also prohibits the release of shared information to a third country without written agreement from the other party, the officials said.
The United States has signed a similar agreement with five countries including Britain and Australia, the news agency reported.
