A cyberattack disrupted Japan Airlines' network, causing delays for over 20 domestic flights and impacting ticket sales.
Japan Airlines (JAL) experienced a cyberattack on Thursday, leading to delays for over 20 domestic flights. The airline stated that the issue originated from a malfunctioning network connecting internal and external systems, impacting flight operations. JAL confirmed that 24 domestic flights faced delays exceeding 30 minutes, with potential for further disruptions throughout the day.
Reports suggest the attack might be a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), where networks are overloaded with data from multiple sources. As a result, ticket sales for both domestic and international flights departing on Thursday were temporarily suspended. The Japanese government urged JAL to prioritize restoring the system and assisting affected passengers. The incident occurred during a peak travel season, coinciding with the year-end holidays and the upcoming New Year celebrations, impacting many travelers
