Japan’s Transport Ministry notified the airline after it noticed Wednesday that passwords for 16 Japanese airports — including the two serving Tokyo — as well as for Guam International Airport had been posted on Internet bulletin boards, the Mainichi Shimbun reported Friday.
Moreover, the ministry confirmed that the Boeing 767 instruction manual had been leaked. JAL has asked the operators of the 17 airports to change their code numbers and tighten security.
The information was leaked from a computer that a 29-year-old Boeing 767 co-pilot kept at his home after it was infected with a computer virus. The co-pilot used the peer-to-peer file-sharing program Winny at home.
