Japan Airlines said Thursday morning that its systems had
been targeted by a cyberattack, causing delays in domestic
and international flights at airports nationwide.
JAL identified the source of the system failure at 8:56 a.m.,
and its systems appeared to have returned to normal after
the router believed to have been causing the disruption was
temporarily shut down. Suspended ticket sales for domestic
and international flights were resumed at around 2 p.m.
“We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this has caused,”
the airline posted on X.
. . .
ALWAYS some way into the things ... might be govts,
might be little punks, but they DO always find new
ways ......
Beyond a level of complexity, NO software can be
completely de-bugged, NO way to anticipate every
tiny mode of attack or failure mode. Humans can't
do it, and for now the "AI"s can't either. Could
be negligent software design OR it could be in
the underlying code libraries the software is
built from.
No doubt an entity the size of JAL had multiple
internal people and external vendors look at the
security/stability issues over the past few years.
STILL didn't help them.
This is the modern age, the one we've created.
