Japan Calls Emergency Meeting As Hackers Hit Again
By Elaine Lies
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan called an emergency meeting Wednesday to boost 
computer security after humiliating raids on government Web sites by 
hackers, who linked one to a pornographic site and attacked Japan's war 
record on another.
The announcement came amid revelations that the site at the Science and 
Technology Agency had been penetrated twice in two days, and that key data 
on another site, including census information, had been erased.
