    On December 26, 2024, Japan Airlines (JAL) experienced a cyberattack that disrupted its internal and external systems, leading to delays in both domestic and international flights.

    Details of the Cyberattack

    The attack began at 7:24 a.m., affecting JAL’s network by overwhelming it with data, a tactic known as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. In response, JAL temporarily shut down a router causing the malfunctions and suspended same-day ticket sales. The airline confirmed that no customer information was leaked and that there was no damage from computer viruses.

    Impact on Flights and Passengers

    The cyberattack resulted in delays for more than 20 domestic flights, each delayed by over 30 minutes. International flights also experienced disruptions. Passengers at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport faced significant inconveniences, especially during the busy year-end holiday season when many travel for New Year’s celebrations.

    Restoration and Resumption of Services

    By the evening of the same day, JAL’s systems returned to normal operations, and ticket sales for both domestic and international flights resumed. The airline worked diligently to restore services and accommodate affected passengers.

    Broader Implications and Recent Cybersecurity Concerns

    This incident highlights ongoing cybersecurity challenges faced by Japanese companies. In recent years, organizations such as Japan’s space agency JAXA and the Port of Nagoya have suffered cyberattacks, raising concerns about the nation’s cyber defenses. Experts emphasize the need for Japan to strengthen its cybersecurity measures, especially as it enhances defense capabilities and collaborates more closely with international partners.
