Maritime sector is a target for cyber criminals
As the merchant vessels are getting bigger in size so the number of technology used onboard. As a result, seafarers rely on the technology data rather than making use of their own talent, awareness and senses.

The size of the crew is reducing due to the use of cyber technology which helps in navigation, and are also used for instant unloading, handling, and tracking of goods at ports. But systems get attacked by cyber criminals.

Victims often try to keep successful hacks a secret. The reason for this is that the maritime companies value their reputation more than the money they actually lose. Also, cyber criminals are stealthy and in many cases companies are unaware they have been hacked.

World’s 90% of freight is delivered by sea. Ship owners can face an unpleasant situation where they might have to spend millions of dollars for each hack, and even can shake or break the economic condition of the country.

Cyber criminals can knock down the operation of regional as well as national supply chains by breaking into key container terminals.

For example, the British government reported that the attack by cyber criminals amounted upto 400 million pounds ($672 million) for a year, as faced by UK oil and gas industry.
