Nonprofit that tracks meteors taken down by "critical blow" from a cyberattack
The International Meteor Organization, a nonprofit coordinating meteor observations, experienced a cyberattack that damaged its aging infrastructure and forced much of its website offline. The organization expects several weeks of partial downtime while migrating to new infrastructure and services. Meanwhile, it continues accepting fireball reports and sharing updates via Facebook.
Why it matters: Amateur and professional astronomers rely on IMO's centralized reporting system; the outage disrupts meteor data collection and coordination during this recovery period.
