WEBSITES FOR THE TOKYO AND OSAKA METRO WERE PURPORTEDLY ATTACKED BY A PRO-RUSSIAN HACKER GANG.

 

In what looks to be a second day of cyberattacks against Japan, the websites of the Tokyo Metro Co. and the Osaka Metro Co. became unreachable on Wednesday evening. A hacker collective supporting Russia claimed credit on social media.

The assaults, which might have been carried out by Killnet, occur one day after the group took credit for attacks on websites belonging to the Japanese government.

On Wednesday at around 6:30 p.m., Killnet posted a video and declared war on what it described as Japan's anti-Russian campaign on the messaging app Telegram. Soon after, at around 7 o'clock, the group posted once more, claiming it would shut down Tokyo's subway system.

Another DDoS assault, in which hackers overwhelm a network by delivering floods of data from numerous sources over a brief period, looks to be to blame for the most recent interruption.

The e-Gov web portal appears to have been impacted by a similar strike that damaged Tuesday's government websites, which made it difficult to access their services.

According to Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno, access to 23 websites across four government ministries was interrupted on Wednesday. Additionally, he mentioned that the websites were back in operation and that no data leaks were known to have occurred at the time.

Killnet claimed credit for the attacks on Tuesday in a post on its Telegram account that also seemed to say that it was revolting against Japan's "militarism" and kicking the samurai.

The organization claimed that it had staged the attacks, and Matsuno acknowledged that they had indicated culpability, but he only went as far as to declare that "the reason of the interruption including its connection (to Killnet) are in the process of being confirmed."

Several cyberattacks on websites belonging to nations supporting Ukraine after Russia's invasion are thought to have been carried out by Killnet.

ACTING PM UNVEILED A CRUCIAL NEW TOOL FOR DEFENCE RESEARCHERS

Image
  It's time for a new piece of cutting-edge technology to reach our shores after autonomous vehicles, robot dogs from Snowy Hydro, and now. A new supercomputer programme that is up to a million times quicker than a regular computer has been officially inaugurated by the acting prime minister and minister of defence Richard Marles. Defence experts will be able to analyse massive data sets and carry out complex calculations quickly thanks to the cutting-edge technology, which is the first of its type in Australia. This will help them handle some of the most challenging scientific and technical issues. The new device is expected to help us advance important AUKUS goals like nuclear-powered submarines, quantum technologies, and artificial intelligence by aiding in the design, development, and analysis of contemporary military systems and national security systems.

  Today, the United States Department of Health and Human Services handed over a mobile biosafety laboratory that had been donated by that institution to the Sindh Department of Health. The Sindh Department of Health in Pakistan was the recipient of a mobile biosafety laboratory that was presented by the United States government today. PUBLISH WITH US Your Content:  https://bit.ly/3pOkePK   This was done to improve the department's ability to diagnose COVID-19 and other communicable diseases, particularly in Pakistan's more remote areas, where there is only a limited capacity to monitor and test for potential outbreaks of infectious disease. This was done in order to improve the department's ability to diagnose COVID-19 and other communicable diseases. The precision of diagnoses will noticeably increase as a direct result of the use of this cutting-edge laboratory. In addition to this, the amount of time required to complete tests will be cut down, and the security of the m
