An internal investigation by the University of Toyama and other sources has revealed that a research centre at the university known for its work on tritium, a substance used to fuel nuclear fusion reactors, is feared to have been targeted by cyberattacks over a period of about six months.
The possibility of cyberattacks was discovered in June this year, and there are fears that information may have been stolen from the computer terminal of a researcher at the university's Hydrogen Isotope Research Center.
