JAXA Confirms Information Leak due to Cyberattack, Apologizes

TapTechNews July 5th news, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced today that the cyberattack suffered last year led to the leakage of information, and apologized to the relevant units for this.

JAXA said that the leaked information not only includes the internal information of the agency, but also the information and personal information related to joint actions with external organizations. JAXA believes that this matter may damage the trust relationship, but due to the relationship with the other party will not provide detailed information.

In this regard, JAXA has apologized to the individuals and relevant parties whose information was leaked and notified them one by one. Up to now, JAXA has not received a report that the business activities of the relevant personnel have been significantly affected, but they express deep歉意 for any inconvenience caused and apologize again.

TapTechNews noticed that JAXA also said last month that it was investigating the possible leaked data after suffering multiple cyberattacks, but the operation information of rockets and satellites is stored in another server network and has not been affected by this intrusion.

Previously, there were rumors that more than 10,000 files of JAXA might have been leaked, including the confidential information of Toyota, NASA, and the Ministry of Defense.
