Fukuoka Airport’s website was inaccessible for almost a full day, from the afternoon of October 20 to 3 PM on October 21. Although the website outage did not cause major disruptions, the airport’s operator suspects a cyberattack and has reported the incident to the police. Social media posts from hacker groups, allegedly linked to Russia, suggest they may have targeted Japanese websites. A similar issue occurred earlier in mid-October. Source: NHK
