Japan Airlines (JAL) faced a cyberattack on Thursday, resulting in delays for over 20 domestic flights. However, the airline managed to thwart the attack and restore its systems within hours, ensuring there was no compromise to flight safety.
The issue began in the morning when JAL's network connecting internal and external systems started malfunctioning. The airline quickly identified the cause as a deliberate attack aimed at overwhelming the network with a massive influx of data, a tactic known to disrupt systems by flooding them with traffic until they become unresponsive or crash.
