Japan space agency hacked

AP, 2/15/02
<a href="http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSSpace0202/14_space-ap.html">http://www.canoe.ca/CNEWSSpace0202/14_space-ap.html>

An aerospace company employee hacked into the computer network of
Japan's space agency in order to spy on a rival firm, an official said
Thursday.

The worker for NEC Toshiba Space System Co. illegally accessed
Mitsubishi Electric Corp.'s antenna designs for a high-speed Internet
satellite in December last year, said National Space Development Agency
of Japan spokesman Junichi Moriuma.

Japan's space agency will punish NEC Toshiba Space System by barring it
from entering bids for contracts for one month, Moriuma said. But he
added the agency does not plan to file criminal charges against the
employee, who was not identified.

Moriuma said NEC Toshiba Space System and Mitsubishi Electric are
jointly developing the satellite, with each company handling a different
part of the project.

The agency discovered the hacking when the employee sent an e-mail
boasting about the break-in to a mailing list that included 10 members
of his company and a space agency employee, Moriuma said.

Moriuma said the employee apparently figured out a password to access
the computer. He declined to discuss further details.
