For several years, Japan has been developing a computer virus that can track, identify, and disable cyberthreats, according to a story in the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper.

Fujitsu reportedly is working on the cyberweapon for Japan’s Defense Ministry under a 178.5 million yen ($2.32 million) project initiated in fiscal 2008 by the ministry’s Technical Research and Development Institute.
The system “can identify not only the immediate source of attack, but also all ‘springboard’ computers used to transmit the virus,” the Yomiuri reported, citing anonymous sources.
