BROOKS / AFP The airline Japan Airlines declared, Thursday, December 26, that it had been the victim of a cyber attack . She explained that this could lead to delays or even cancellations of flights. “We can confirm that we have been victims of a cyberattack and that we are dealing with the situation,” a spokesperson for Japan’s second largest airline told Agence France-Presse. “It is likely that this will have an impact on flight operations,” she added, saying she was “not able at this time to provide details of the affected flights.” This is the latest cyberattack against Japanese companies and agencies. At the end of 2023, the Japanese space agency (Jaxa) announced that it had probably been the victim of a cyberattack. In July of the same year, the port of Nagoya, the most important in the archipelago in terms of traffic, was paralyzed by a ransomware attack, which was attributed to the Russian-speaking hacking group LockBit. The Japanese cybersecurity agency (NISC) was also infiltrated by hackers for a period of up to nine months, according to media reports. In February 2022, the world’s largest automobile manufacturer, Toyota, was forced to suspend all of its production in the country for a day due to a cyberattack affecting one of its suppliers. More recently, the popular Japanese video-sharing website Niconico had to temporarily suspend its services last June due to a large-scale cyberattack, its operator said.
