MIZUHO Bank said Tuesday that its systems experienced connection disruptions from around 7 am, affecting online transactions for individuals and corporations, but it stressed there are no other issues detected such as a loss of customer data. One of Japan’s three megabanks suggested it may have been targeted by a distributed denial-of-service, or DDoS attack, in which networks are overwhelmed by data from multiple sources over a short period. The bank said internet transactions were functioning again by approximately 10 am.

The system failure led the Tokyo-based financial institution to encourage customers to use automated teller machines for urgent transactions. — Kyodo

North Korea: Kim Jong Un oversees tactical ballistic missile drill
North Korea says its leader Kim Jong Un oversaw a joint striking drill of ballistic missile and long range artillery systems on Thursday. Friday's edition of the ruling Workers' Party newspaper Rodong Sinmun reported that the drill involved a 600-millimeter multi-layer rocket system and the Hwasong-11-Ka tactical ballistic missile. The report said that ahead of the firing, training was conducted to make soldiers master the procedures and processes for rapidly switching over to the nuclear counterattack posture. Kim reportedly stressed the need to steadily enhance the pivotal role of the nuclear force in all aspects of the strategy to deter war and the strategy to fight war. The report also said that Kim underscored the importance of steadily perfecting the normal combat readiness of the nuclear force. South Korea's military said on Thursday that North Korea had fired short-range ballistic missiles of multiple types toward the Sea of Japan. South Korean officials said the launches may have been a performance test linked to the North's arms exports to Russia. Source: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20250509_07/
