This short document aims to shed light on the evolution of cyber threats in the maritime sector, and more specifically on the growing role of phishing attacks in incidents affecting the Marine Transportation System (MTS). It is not specified—although it naturally comes to mind—whether the release of this bulletin is directly linked to the current conflict in the Persian Gulf and the risk of phishing attacks originating from Iran.</p>
