Japan's Fukuoka clamps down on upskirt photos with ‘anti-voyeurism' mirror
Authorities in the Japanese city of Fukuoka have installed an 'anti-voyeurism' mirror in a subway station in a bid to stop the rising number of cases in the bustling Tenjin entertainment area. The mirror, affixed beside an escalator at the Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) station, has a wide field of view to enable commuters to spot voyeurs or those taking upskirt photos, according to the online News on Japan. It was donated by the We Love Tenjin Council, a community group made up of local businesses. 'Unfortunately, voyeurism is still happening daily. We hope this mirror will help reduce the number of victims and allow people to use the station with peace of mind,' Stationmaster Akiko Yamaguchi told Nippon TV on Wednesday. Officials at the Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station say they hope the 'anti-voyeurism mirror' will allow commuters to use the station with 'peace of mind'. Photo: Handout There were 110 reported cases of voyeurism in Fukuoka prefecture from January to the end of June – 10 more than in the same period last year, police told the national broadcaster. Escalators or staircases were the voyeurs' favourite hunting grounds. Voyeurism is on the rise in Japan , according to a February report in the Asahi newspaper, which cited police statistics showing that cases of voyeuristic, non-consensual filming more than tripled last year compared to 2023. A 43-year-old Tokyo firefighter was arrested for filming a woman at a railway station in Chiba prefecture, the Tokyo Reporter news website reported on Friday. Tatsunori Saika, a firefighter at the Kanamachi Fire Station, allegedly hid his smartphone in a business bag to take tosatsu (voyeur) videos up a woman's skirt on an escalator at Abiko Station at about 9.40pm on July 16.

Aarno Labs Awarded DARPA Grant to Develop Tools for Translating C to Safe Rust
Addressing the challenge of trusted, low-cost migration from C to Safe Rust for critical software systems BOSTON, MA / / June 9, 2025 / Aarno Labs, a research and development company focused on promoting high-assurance software via advanced program analysis and formal methods, has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop advanced tools for translating legacy C code into safe, idiomatic Rust. The work is part of DARPA's newly launched TRACTOR program (Translating All C to Rust), which aims to eliminate memory safety vulnerabilities in critical software systems. The Aarno-led project, named Tenjin, will build a modular framework that combines source-level refactoring with multi-stage translation driven by comprehensive program understanding. The toolchain leverages Aarno's mature static and dynamic analysis platforms-CodeHawk and DIODE-to extract deep semantic models from C programs. These models enable the system to produce safe, maintainable Rust output, plus tests to validate the absence of introduced regressions. "C has been making computers vulnerable since before I was born," said Dr. Benjamin Karel, Principal Investigator at Aarno Labs. "Tenjin is designed to help maintainers of C codebases leave the past behind, producing functionally equivalent but safer Rust code." Aarno Labs is collaborating with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), including Professors Michael Carbin and Martin Rinard, who bring deep expertise in programming languages, formal methods, and machine learning. The resulting tools will be released as open-source software intended to support public and private sector efforts to transition legacy code to memory-safe platforms.
