Large and extremely powerful Typhoon No. 30 is closing in on Okinawa's Sakishima Islands, threatening gusts strong enough to collapse homes, waves up to 12 meters, and linear precipitation bands delivering 250 mm of rain in 24 hours. Microsoft disclosed that a Chinese government-linked hacker group used an autonomous AI tool called "Artex" to attack hundreds of companies and government agencies worldwide since last month. In sports, gymnast Hashimoto Daiki claimed his fourth consecutive world all-around title, becoming only the second person in history to achieve that feat.

## What this episode answers

### What kinds of damage could Typhoon No. 30 bring to the Sakishima Islands?

Gusts up to 55 m/s capable of collapsing homes, waves up to 12 meters, and up to 250 mm of rainfall in 24 hours from linear precipitation bands are all expected, and a Level 4 storm surge danger warning has been issued for the Ishigaki Island area and Taketomi Town.

### How fast did the AI tool "Artex" used by the Chinese-linked hacker group attack, and which sectors did it target?

It targeted hundreds of organizations worldwide across aerospace, defense, and financial services, in some cases seizing critical administrative access within three hours of identifying a target; Microsoft noted the tool attempted up to 2,900 logins per minute, a pace it described as leaving almost no time to detect and respond.

### Why is ANA Holdings considering additional investment in Air Do and Solaseed Air?

Rising fuel costs and intensifying Shinkansen competition have eroded domestic-route profitability, so ANA aims to cut costs by deepening cooperation among the three carriers through measures such as shared aircraft maintenance; ANA already holds just over 15% of voting rights in holding company Regional Plus Wings and is looking to acquire shares from other major shareholders to raise that stake.

### What steps has the Japanese Embassy taken regarding the Hokkaido Shimbun reporter detained in Russia?

On the 22nd, an embassy official visited the Moscow detention facility where the reporter is held and, for the first time, delivered items sent by associates; consular access has not yet been granted, and the embassy says it will continue pressing for an early consular visit and the reporter's immediate release.

### What is the historical significance of Hashimoto Daiki's four consecutive world gymnastics championships?

It is only the second time in history that a gymnast has won four consecutive men's all-around world titles, a feat previously achieved only by Uchimura Kohei (内村航平), who went on to win six consecutive championships.

## Typhoon No. 30: Triple Threat of Gale-Force Winds, Massive Waves, and Linear Precipitation Bands Bearing Down on the Sakishima Islands

As of 6:00 a.m. on October 23, large and extremely powerful Typhoon No. 30 was tracking northwest at 15 km/h over the ocean south of Okinawa. The storm had a central pressure of 950 hPa, maximum sustained winds of 45 m/s, and maximum gusts of 60 m/s. Storm-force winds extended 330 km to the northwest and 280 km to the southeast of the center, and the Sakishima Islands were already inside the gale-force wind zone. Yunagun Airport recorded a peak gust of 41.7 m/s in the three hours up to 5:00 a.m.

The typhoon is forecast to intensify further, with sustained winds reaching 40 m/s and gusts peaking at 55 m/s—strong enough to collapse some homes. Wave heights up to 12 meters are expected around the Sakishima Islands, and a Level 4 storm surge danger warning has been issued for the Ishigaki Island area and Taketomi Town. Tide levels are forecast to exceed 2 meters this afternoon, requiring strict vigilance against flooding near coastlines and river mouths.

Linear precipitation bands are expected to develop over the Miyako Island and Yaeyama Island areas from early this afternoon through early tomorrow morning, with 24-hour rainfall totals reaching as much as 250 mm in the hardest-hit areas. The typhoon is expected to make its closest approach to the Miyako and Ishigaki Island areas this evening and to the Yonagunijima area in the early hours of tonight. Because the storm is moving slowly, its impacts could be prolonged. From the day after tomorrow onward, the typhoon is forecast to turn eastward and approach Honshu, requiring vigilance for heavy rain across western and eastern Japan through early next week.

## Chinese-Linked Hackers Use Autonomous AI Tool to Attack Hundreds of Organizations Worldwide, Microsoft Discloses

On the 22nd, Microsoft disclosed that a hacker group linked to the Chinese government had used an autonomous AI tool called "Artex" to attack hundreds of companies and government agencies around the world since last month. The company confirmed the attacks by analyzing access logs to its own systems. Targets spanned a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, defense, and financial services.

In some cases, attackers obtained critical administrative access to a target system in less than three hours of identifying it. The tool attempted up to 2,900 logins per minute—a pace Microsoft described as leaving "almost no time to detect and respond." Artex has also been linked to attacks on South Korean financial institutions that began in late last month. No involvement in cyberattacks targeting Japanese companies has been confirmed at this time.

## ANA Holdings Considers Additional Investment in Holding Company of Air Do and Solaseed Air

ANA Holdings is reportedly considering increasing its stake in Regional Plus Wings, the holding company that controls Hokkaido-based Air Do and Kyushu-based Solaseed Air. ANA already holds just over 15% of voting rights in the holding company and is said to be looking at acquiring shares from other major shareholders to raise that proportion.

Soaring fuel costs and intensifying competition from the Shinkansen have worsened the profitability of domestic routes across the aviation industry. ANA is understood to be aiming to deepen cooperation among the three carriers—streamlining operations through measures such as shared aircraft maintenance—in order to bring down costs.

## Japan Embassy Makes First Delivery to Hokkaido Shimbun Reporter Detained in Russia

A reporter from the Hokkaido Shimbun was detained by the FSB (Federal Security Service) on suspicion of espionage in Sakhalin Oblast in Russia's Far East on October 13. The Japanese government has called on Russia to grant an early consular visit and to release the reporter immediately.

On the 22nd, a representative from the Japanese Embassy in Moscow visited the detention facility where the reporter is being held and, for the first time, delivered items sent by associates. A consular visit has not yet been granted, and the embassy said it will continue pressing for an early meeting and the reporter's immediate release.

## Sports: Hashimoto Daiki Claims Fourth Consecutive Gymnastics World Title; 14-Year-Old Becomes Youngest-Ever NPB Draft Pick

At the Gymnastics World Championships being held in the Netherlands, the men's all-around final was contested on the 22nd, and Hashimoto Daiki (橋本大輝) claimed the gold medal to secure his fourth consecutive world title. Winning the championship four consecutive times makes him only the second gymnast in history to do so, after Uchimura Kohei, who went on to win six consecutive titles.

At the NPB Draft, the Yomiuri Giants selected Seki Rentaro (関蓮太郎), a 14-year-old third-year middle school student from Mukogawa Junior High School in Miyamae Ward, Kawasaki City, as a fifth-round development pick. The right-handed catcher stands 179 cm tall and weighs 82 kg. He served as captain and cleanup hitter for the under-15 Japan national team, batting .333 with 2 home runs and 11 RBIs. He was praised for a throwing arm that clocks in at under two seconds to second base—described as "beyond middle-school level"—and a 50-meter sprint time in the low six-second range. According to NPB, the drafting of a middle school student is permissible under its rules, making Seki the youngest player ever selected in an NPB draft. He is expected to attend high school while participating in team practices.
