JAXA Targeted by a Cyberattack

Japan’s renowned space agency, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), encountered a cyberattack that targeted its systems, although crucial data related to rocket launches and satellite operations remained secure, as stated by a spokesperson on Wednesday. The agency confirmed the breach didn’t compromise pivotal information necessary for the functioning of their space missions.

While details regarding the timing of the cyberattack were not disclosed, the spokesperson attributed the unauthorized access to a network equipment vulnerability, emphasizing that the investigation into the incident is currently ongoing. Upon receiving information from an external source, JAXA initiated an internal investigation to delve into the possibility of unauthorized entry into their systems. The spokesperson refrained from identifying the external organization that provided the initial tip or divulging further specifics regarding the attack. Reports from Japanese media surfaced, indicating the cyberattack took place during the summer months, with law enforcement becoming aware of the incident later in the autumn, eventually notifying JAXA about the breach.

The Yomiuri newspaper was the first to report on this cyber intrusion. This breach underscores the persistent threats faced by high-profile organizations such as JAXA and the continued necessity for robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding sensitive data. As the investigation continues, JAXA remains vigilant, ensuring that its systems remain fortified against potential cyber threats to uphold the integrity of its crucial space missions.
