Two major international ports fell victim to cyber-attacks within the span of a week, putting the shipping industry on alert for a possible threat actor targeting the entire sector.
The first to fall was the Port of Barcelona, Spain, on September 20, last week. The second attack was reported on September 25 by the Port of San Diego, in the United States.
None of the two port authorities revealed any details about the nature of the cyber-attacks, leaving security experts to speculate about possible causes.
