Description: Cyber-crime has been thrust into the shipping spotlight once more after another spate of high-profile hacks, emphasising the heightened risk faced by the industry. The latest victims to fall foul of this online menace were French shipping juggernaut CMA CGM and the International Maritime Organization. Much of CMA CGM’s online functionality was down for two weeks after the company sought to protect and restore its IT systems, which had been attacked using Ragnar Locker ransomware in late September. This came just three days before news that the IMO had similarly been hit by hackers, making its website and internal intranet services unavailable. This was not the first time the UN agency’s online systems had been compromised — but it was by far the most serious. The size and stature of the two organisations once again reiterated that all shipping companies and entities are at risk. Nobody is safe. Experts too were quick to point to how most would have fallen victim to the same attack, given the sector’s low level of cyber-maturity. CMA CGM’s hacking means that four of the five largest carriers have had their online systems infiltrated by cyber criminals. Maersk, Mediterranean Shipping Co and Cosco have all been targeted, either directly or indirectly, by hackers in recent years — and at substantial cost. With container shipping increasingly digitised, the attack space for would-be hackers is growing. As such, so too is susceptibility to having online systems compromised.
Sea-Intelligence chief executive and renowned box shipping analyst Alan Murphy says this does not mean digitalisation should be slowed down,
rather that the industry must devote serious efforts and resources into both cyber-defence and contingency planning. “The risk cannot be reduced to
zero,” he said. “Every company should see it as absolutely vital to have clear contingency plans.” Somewhat ironically, the two latest incidents come shortly before a new IMO resolution requiring shipping companies to address cyber-risks in safety management systems comes into effect. The resolution will be enforced at the start of 2021. These unfortunate events serve as a timely reminder for the industry not to get complacent.
More victims will follow. Failing to mitigate for the impact
