Cyber Turbulence: Japan Airlines Grounded by DDoS Attack
A cyber attack hit Japan Airlines, causing ticket sale chaos and flight delays. Despite the disruption, no customer data was compromised. Other airlines dodged the digital bullet, leaving JAL to handle the turbulence solo.
Hot Take:
It seems some cyber gremlins really wanted a seat on Japan Airlines, but instead of booking a ticket, they decided to crash the party and take down the entire ticketing system. Who knew hackers were such frequent flyers?
Key Points:
- A cyberattack disrupted Japan Airlines, suspending ticket sales for Thursday flights.
- The attack was a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) targeting JAL’s systems.
- No other Japanese airlines, such as ANA Holdings, were affected.
- Customer data remained safe, with no malware infections reported.
- The disruption caused delays for 24 domestic flights and affected mail deliveries.
