According to former US and Japanese officials, the NSA discovered in the fall of 2020 that the PRC had persistent access to Japanese Defense Networks.

This prompted a bilateral engagement to enhance Japanese Network security.

Kind of scary to think about all the state hacking going on that hasn't yet been revealed.

While it isn’t ubiquitous here in Australia by any means, fax still occupies some weird areas of law that make it common. When my doctor sends a referral it is almost always via fax, because email isn’t legal. Apparently, owning a phone number is more proof than owning an email address?

What’s hilarious is that most medical providers use fax-over-VoIP (yes, that’s apparently the term) anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Same in the US, doctors offices want everything done by fax. Because security.

Whatever security benefits there may be in fax are completely defeated if you send it over VoIP.

I was being sarcastic about the security thing.
