Several European ferry operators suffered a coordinated cyber attack
On Thursday 19 October, several European ferry operators suffered a coordinated DDOS cyber attack, which brought many websites and online bookings down.
One of the affected companies was Viking Line. According to them, their websites and booking systems were not up and running again until the day after at 11.30.
The importance of having a well thought out IT security strategy and systems becomes more and more critical, especially in times of conflicts. For this reason, we have invited Anne-Marie Eklund Löwinder as one of our speakers at the 2024 Shippax Ferry Conference. Anne-Marie is one of Sweden’s leading experts on information and IT security. https://www.shippaxferryconference.com/en/conference-2024/speakers-2024.aspx
