It's unclear exactly what the nature of the cyberattacks were or from where they originated.
NOIRLab points out that because the investigation is still ongoing, the organization will be cautious about what information it shares about the intrusions.
"We plan to provide the community with more information when we are able to, in alignment with our commitment to transparency as well as our dedication to the security of our infrastructure," the update added. The cyberattacks on NOIRLab's facilities occurred just days before the United States National Counterintelligence and Security Center
advising American space companies and research organizations about the threat of cyberattacks and espionage.
