Report: US Coast Guard finds proof of malicious cyber activity
United States Coast Guard Cyber Command and the FBI have confirmed that multiagency teams boarded two foreign-flagged oil tankers bound for Texas after detecting malicious cyber activity. Federal investigators boarded the VL Prosperity and a second vessel in the Gulf of Mexico following a suspected breach that knocked out satellite communications for nearly 30 hours during transit near Gibraltar. While officials confirmed evidence of a malicious cyber actor, no physical dangers to crews or operational instability were reported as forensic teams evaluate onboard IT and control systems.
