Nonprofit that tracks meteors taken down by "critical blow" from a cyberattack

The International Meteor Organization says a cyberattack dealt a critical blow to its infrastructure, taking much of its site offline for weeks.

The International Meteor Organization (IMO), a nonprofit coordinating amateur and professional meteor observations since 1988, reported a cyberattack that took much of its website offline. The organization expects several weeks of partial downtime while transitioning to new infrastructure and is prioritizing fireball reporting through alternate channels. The attack vector and whether any data was accessed remain undisclosed; the IMO's observation databases and WGN journal are widely used in the field.
