FBI, Coast Guard probe suspected cyberattacks on ships entering US waters

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Coast Guard are investigating suspected cyberattacks targeting vessels entering U.S. waters. The probe occurs amid increased security focus on American port infrastructure and maritime operations.

Why it matters: Maritime operators and port authorities should assess vessel systems for signs of compromise and coordinate with federal agencies on incident reporting, as cyberattacks on shipping represent a direct threat to supply chain continuity and national security.
