JAPAN'S SPACE AGENCY SUFFERS CYBER ATTACK, POINTS FINGER AT ACTIVE DIRECTORY

JAXA IS HAVING A TOUGH TIME IN CYBERSPACE AND OUTER SPACE, THE LATTER THANKS TO
AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH

Simon Sharwood
Wed 29 Nov 2023 // 06:57 UTC




Japan's Space Exploration Agency (JAXA) has reported a cyber incident.

Chief cabinet secretary Matsuno mentioned the incident in his morning briefing,
telling reporters the agency suspected a breach, possibly to its Active
Directory implementation, so conducted further research and found illegal
access.

JAXA has since shut down part of its network, including an intranet, as it seeks
help to determine the extent of the incident.



Secretary Matsuno said Japan's government has asked JAXA to implement
countermeasures, adding that early research suggests no sensitive information
was stolen.




JAXA has had a hard time of it lately, in cyberspace and outer space. On Earth,
the agency was breached in 2016 and 2012. A Chinese national was charged over
the 2016 incident, which was thought to be one of 200-odd attacks on Japanese
entities initiated by the accused. Japanese authorities took until 2021 to
initiate legal action against the alleged perp, who is said to have conducted
the attacks while studying at a local university.

 * Europe's Ariane 6 rocket rated 'ready to rumble' after passing hot fire test

JAXA's troubles in outer space relate to recent launch failures. After 19 years
without a flop, JAXA's two most recent launches both failed. In October 2022 the
usually reliable Epsilon rocket was ordered to self-destruct after veering off
its intended course. A February 2023 test for Japan's new H3 rocket, and its
March 2023 first flight, both failed.

An investigation into the H3 failure found that after the ignition signal was
sent to the second stage engine, the propulsion system controller detected a
power abnormality and shut down other components. Exactly what happened next
isn't known, but JAXA is testing and fixing three possible scenarios it's
identified as flowing from the power glitch.

In happier news, two November tests of the H3's engine succeeded.



But in recent weeks, the space agency has twice rescheduled the launch of a
sounding rocket, with delayed preparation causing one delay before bad weather
intervened to cause the postponement of a second launch attempt. ®
