Dozens of Internet users from companies and universities in Japan reported problems Saturday afternoon, including slow transmissions as a result of receiving massive data, Internet security company Little eArth Corp. (LAC) said.

The disturbances occurred after some sites received data called UDP up to hundreds of thousand times an hour from unknown senders, according to LAC.

But there has been no major confusion in Japan's businesses because many companies do not operate on Saturdays, it said.

It is unknown whether the trouble is due to cyber-terrorism or online vandalism for pleasure because anyone can send UDP data indiscriminately.

The phenomenon followed news reports that transmission speeds have slowed on the Net around the world, apparently due to the spread of infected files.
