For years now, Red Sky Alliance has been reporting on vessel name spoofing, using fake email addresses to lure companies in the maritime arena to click on infected emails. Now Georgia Tech has revealed vessel GPS spoofing, which produced a study showing 367,000 ships affected by global GPS spoofing. This research included the Red Sea activity detected months before the MSC Antonia grounding in May 2025. Researchers analyzing global ship-tracking data have identified 31 persistent areas of abn

As maritime navigation and tracking become ever more dependent on satellite-based systems, this has also given rise to an increase in reports of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference affecting commercial shipping routes.[1]
What is GNSS? The Global Navigation Satellite System comprises of 4 operational satellite constellations, that serve both civilian and military use:
- Global Positioning System (US)
- Galileo (EU)
- GLONASS (Russia)
- BeiDou (China)
These constellations, combined

The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has provided a research paper on maritime cyber security. Maritime ports underpin the global economy, handling over 80% of trade by volume. In recent decades, ports have increasingly digitized, integrating automated terminals, networked operational technology (OT), and data-driven management systems. While digitization increases port productivity, it also introduces acute cyber vulnerabilities. Absent significant cybersecurity improve

China is conducting intelligence operations in The Netherlands that are targeting key industrial sectors including semiconductors, aerospace and maritime technology, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans recently warned. Dutch national security and transatlantic supply chains are in danger because of state sponsored cyber-attacks and clandestine intelligence operations. This activity threatens not only the Netherlands, but also the entire free world.
In reaction to similar Chinese targeting
A new report from NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of Excellence (CCDCOE) warns that global ports are vulnerable in the wake of escalating cyber threats. The policy brief highlights that ports, which handle approximately 80% of international trade, “face unprecedented cybersecurity threats from state-linked actors” from Russia, Iran, and China. These actors aim to disrupt operations and potentially inflict significant economic and military harm.
Ports serve as crucial nodes in NATO’s de

The grounding of the MSC Antonia near the Eliza Shoals off Jeddah has drawn attention to the increasing risks of cyber-physical attacks in the maritime sector, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Analysis by maritime intelligence firms suggest the incident may have been caused by GPS jamming that compromised the vessel's navigational systems, leading to incorrect positioning data and the subsequent grounding.
Luke Pordham, assistant vice president at Lockton MENA, highlight
It is hard to believe that the infamous attack on the Maersk was eight (8) years ago. This attack was one of the most notable incidents underscoring the importance of cyber security in the maritime industry is the 2017 Maersk cyber-attack. The shipping giant fell victim to the NotPetya ransomware, which essentially stopped its global operations. The attack resulted in an estimated financial loss of $300 million and temporarily disrupted the company's ability to process shipping logistics and c
