It is not intended to be exhaustive, but please let me know if you are aware of other public and corroborated cases. The aim is not to single out a company or a state, but to raise awareness of incidents that have already occurred and, when known, their consequences. I will add more over time. As always, attribution and sources should be treated with caution, as should the apparent increase in the public number of incidents. I am also gradually adding submarine cable outages.</p>Shipping company MSC reportedly hit by a cyberattackhttps://maritimeinfosec.org/shipping-company-msc-reportedly-hit-by-a-cyberattack/Fri, 17 Apr 2020 10:52:58 +0000Olivier JACQhttps://maritimeinfosec.org/shipping-company-msc-reportedly-hit-by-a-cyberattack/

According to Le Marin and other online sources, the shipping company MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company), the world’s second-largest container shipping line, was reportedly affected by a cyber incident that disrupted its electronic booking system known as “MyMSC.” The incident occurred at a particularly difficult time, as the global shipping industry was already dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Email services appeared to remain operational, but the company initially released little information beyond indicating that the disruption was likely related to a network outage in one of its data centers.

Perhaps too many, and of uneven quality, which can sometimes make things difficult to navigate (put yourself in the shoes of the seafarer or the shipowner who must understand and apply them).

Among these guides, one nevertheless stands out as a reference, both because of the number of associations and major industry stakeholders involved in its development (21 in total) and because it addresses the maritime world in its own terms, adapting cyber threats to the specific characteristics of this sector. This guide, “The Guidelines on Cyber Security Onboard Ships,” has just been released in its third edition.
