From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A cyber attack on Japan's largest arms contractor targeted about 80 servers and computers at 11 facilities related to nuclear power, missiles and submarines.
The Defence Minister, Yasuo Ichikawa, said yesterday that no sensitive data was known to have been stolen in the attack on Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
He said that he had instructed the company to strengthen its data security systems.
The attack was discovered last month, but the government only found out about it from press reports on Monday.
The company said it was working with police and independent experts to investigate the attack. It said there was no confirmed leak of sensitive data involving its products or technology.
