JAKARTA - Cyberattacks on aircraft systems can pose a very serious danger, both for passengers, crew, and aircraft themselves.
Today Thursday, December 26, Japan Airlines (JAL) announced that it has been targeted by cyberattacks that have delayed several domestic and international flights.
The attack began at 7:24 a.m. local time (2224 GMT) and affected the company's internal and external systems, JAL said.
The company said it was temporarily turning off a router that caused system malfunctions and also suspended ticket sales for flights departing on Thursday.
