FBI, Coast Guard boarded hacked oil tankers heading towards US coast
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Coast Guard boarded oil tankers that were en route to the US coast after their networks were compromised. In at least one case, the compromise affected the vessel's navigation and propulsion systems, prompting a federal investigation into the incident.
Why it matters: Maritime operators and critical infrastructure owners face immediate risk: compromised vessel systems can disrupt supply chains and pose collision or environmental hazards, and this incident signals adversaries are targeting tanker fleets headed to US ports.
